Ingredients

1 tsp olive oil 

1 brown onion, finely diced  

1 clove garlic, crushed 

250g frozen spinach, thawed, liquid squeezed out  

250g low fat ricotta 

½ lemon, zested 

1 egg, lightly beaten 

12 sheets filo pastry 

Spray olive oil 

Method

Preheat oven to 180°C.  Line two large oven trays with baking paper.  

Heat olive oil in a small fry pan over medium heat.  Add the onion and garlic and cook stirring occasionally until the onion softens.  Transfer to a bowl and set aside to cool. 

Add the spinach, ricotta, lemon zest and egg to the onion mixture and combine. 

Keep pastry sheets you’re not working with covered with a damp tea towel, so they don’t dry out. Place 1 sheet of pastry on a clean surface and spray with oil spray. Top with another sheet of pastry.  Spray.  Top with a third sheet of pastry and spray. 

With the long sides facing you, cut pastry into 5 vertical strips. Put 1 tablespoon of the spinach mix in the corner of a strip and fold diagonally to form a triangle.  Repeat with remaining pastry and mix. 

Arrange on the oven trays and spray with oil.  Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden.
