Tart Spinach Sundried Tomato Food

CRISPY GREEK-STYLE PIE

Steps:

• Put the spinach into a large pan. Pour over a couple tbsp water, then cook until just wilted. Tip into a sieve, leave to cool a little, then squeeze out any excess water and roughly chop. Roughly chop the tomatoes and put into a bowl along with the spinach, feta and eggs. Mix well.
• Carefully unroll the filo pastry. Cover with some damp sheets of kitchen paper to stop it drying out. Take a sheet of pastry and brush liberally with some of the sundried tomato oil. Drape oil-side down in a 22cm loosebottomed cake tin so that some of the pastry hangs over the side. Brush oil on another piece of pastry and place in the tin, just a little further round. Keep placing the pastry pieces in the tin until you have roughly three layers, then spoon over the filling. Pull the sides into the middle, scrunch up and make sure the filling is covered. Brush with a little more oil.
• Heat oven to 180C/fan 160C/gas 4. Cook the pie for 30 mins until the pastry is crisp and golden brown. Remove from the cake tin, slice into wedges and serve with salad.

TOMATO AND SPINACH TART

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven 375° and spray pie pan with cooking spray. Unfold pie crust and place in pan. With a fork prick crust, then line crust with parchment paper. Fill with pie weights or dried beans. Place on a cookie sheet and bake for about 10 - 15 minutes. Once done remove from oven, then remove dried beans and parchment paper.
• 2. Brush pie crust with olive oil and line the bottom of crust with mozzarella slices, then place spinach leafs on top. Season with MRS Dash, then arrange slice tomatoes on top of the spinach. Sprinkle oregano and parmesan cheese on top, bake for about 30 - 35 minutes. Serve hot or room temperature.
• 3. Note: If cheese exudes some liquid while baking, tilt the pan and spoon it off to keep the pie crust from becoming soggy.
