Recipe Source: none, really. I've made this so many times, I just make it!
Tasting notes: Always a favourite. Usually I make it with at least part frozen spinach (defrosted) because otherwse you need a LOT of spinach and it's a pain.
Spanakopita:
about 6 sheets filo pastry
spinach - a lot. I use about 500g frozen spinach, defrosted and a large bag of fresh spinach
3 eggs
a bunch of spring onions, chopped
fresh nutmeg, optional
1 block feta cheese
melted butter or spray oil
To make the filling, squeeze out the frozen spinach really well and put in a mixing bowl. Pour a kettle of boiling water over the fresh spinach, then squeeze out and chop finely; add to the bowl. Chop and add the spring onions, break in the eggs, crumble in the feta cheese and mix well. Hands work best. Add a grating or two of fresh nutmeg if you like.
Spray a sheet of filo pastry with oil or brush with melted butter and place in the bottom of a lasagne, etc dish. Do this again with 2 more sheets. Add the filling, then put three more sheets of pastry on the top and bake in a medium oven (about 150C) until set and browned, about 45 minutes to an hour.
