Spinach Feta On A Potato Bed Food

SPINACH, FETA AND ONION PARCELS

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 180C/fan 160C/gas 4. Fry the onion and garlic in a little butter until very soft but not browned, add the spinach and stir until it wilts and any liquid dries off. Tip the mixture into a bowl and add the feta and lemon.
• Melt some more butter, brush a sheet of filo and cut it lengthways into 3 strips. Put 2 tbsp of the mix at the top of each strip and fold each over diagonally to make a triangle, then continue to fold over down the length of the pastry. Repeat with the remaining filling and pastry. Arrange the parcels on a buttered baking sheet and brush the tops with more butter. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until they're golden brown and cooked through.

SWEET POTATO, SPINACH & FETA TORTILLA

Steps:

• Pierce the potatoes a few times on each side. Microwave on high for 5-8 mins until soft, then set aside to cool a little.
• Heat the oil in a 20cm ovenproof frying pan and wilt the spinach for a minute or two (you might have to do this in batches). Cut each potato in half lengthways and use a spoon to scoop out the flesh, keeping it in big chunks. Whisk the eggs.
• Add the sweet potato to the pan and stir to combine with the spinach - don't break it up too much. Pour in the egg and swirl around so it fills any gaps in the pan. Scatter over the feta and cook for 4-5 mins over a low heat until the bottom and sides are set.
• Place under the grill for 1-2 mins to cook the top - poke a knife into the centre to ensure it's cooked through. Cool before slicing into wedges. Will keep chilled for up to a day.

POTATO, SPINACH, AND FETA GRATIN

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F. Oil an 8-inch-square (2-quart) baking dish lightly, line it with wax paper, and oil the paper lightly. Peel the potatoes and food processor fitted with a 2-mm. slicing disk slice the potatoes crosswise. (Alternatively, the potatoes may be sliced thin with a hand-held slicing device.) In a kettle of salted boiling water boil the potatoes for 7 minutes, or until they are just tender, drain them in a colander, and rinse them briefly under cold water. In the kettle cook the spinach in the water clinging to the leaves, covered, over high heat, stirring occasionally, for 2 minutes, or until it is wilted, drain it, and refresh it under cold water. Squeeze the water from the spinach by wringing it by handfuls in a kitchen towel, transfer it to the food processor fitted with the metal blade, and add the Feta. In a bowl whisk together well the half-and-half, the eggs, the salt, and the pepper, add half the custard to the spinach mixture, and pulse the motor of the processor until the mixture is coarse.
• Transfer the potatoes to the prepared baking dish and spread them in an evenly layer. Pour the remaining custard over the potatoes, shaking the dish slightly to distribute the custard evenly, and top the potatoes with the spinach mixture, smoothing the top. bake the gratin in the middle of the oven for 45 to 50 minutes, or until it is set in the middle, and let cool on a rack for 30 minutes. Run a knife around the side of the dish, invert the gratin onto a flameproof plate, and peel off the wax paper. Broil the gratin under a preheated broiler about 4 inches from the heat for 10 to 15 minutes, or until top is golden brown, and serve it cut into squares.

FETA, SPINACH AND SWEET POTATO WRAP

• Peel and chop the sweet potatoes and put them in water to cover.
• Bring to the boil, and cook until just tender.

• Spread the spinach and feta mix on the tortillas, dividing it evenly and making a flat bed.
• Place the potato chunks on top spreading them out.
• Top with the diced peppers and onion.
• Fold in the sides of the tortilla toward the middle, leaving about 1/3 open space in the middle (no the sides do not touch). Fold the bottom third over the two sides and then continue on folding until the tortilla is closed.
• Tuck in loose side edges.
• Bake in the oven at 425F until the tortillas brown and puff.
• Serve after a brief cooling as a hefty lunch.
