Recipe's preparation

  1. 1.Take frozen sheets of pastry from fridge and set out to thaw

    2.Grease a 20x30xcm retangle dish (i use ceramic)

    3.Set oven to 210 degrees

  2. 4. Place sping onion, onion, herbs, lemon rind, garlic and 1/2 tsp salt into TM bowl. chop 5 sec on 6.

    5. Add 10-20ml olive oil and 10 gm butter and saute 2miin 100 Counter-clockwise operation"Counter-clockwise operation" degrees speed 1

    set aside

  3. 6. Place water and stock into jug (no need to rinse) set 12 min varoma temp speed 4.

    7. While water/stock heating, place roughly chopped silverbeet and chard in varoma and place varoma on top of jug (should almost be at 100 degrees). If all spinach doesnt fit in do half then wait for it to wilt and add more. (stir through so steams evenly). Set for extra 5 mins if not soft and wilted

    8. When steamer finished, add wilted silverbeet and chard to onion herb mix, tip out stock or keep to reuse.

    9. Rinse jug with cold water and wipe down. (or use second jug)

  4. 10. Chop hard cheeses. remove 100gm or so to sprinkle on the top of pie and set aside,

    11. Add eggs, ricotta and pepper to the remaining cheese . Mix 10 sec speed 5.

    12. Mix egg/ cheese mix though spinach onion mix.

    13. Layer one puff pastry sheet on bottom of dish, place a third of spinach cheese filling evenly on top, layer another sheet of pastry on top, pressing side of pastry down, add another 3rd mix, place next layer pastry, then last third, top with final pastry sheet, spray sparingly with olive oil, sprinkle reserved cheese over top and using a sharp pointed  knife, insert knife 6 times at even intervals to bottom of dish to create 6 air holes.

    14. Place spanakopita pie in oven for 50 mins or until has doubled in height. (if browning too much cover with silver foil but should be ok!)

Tip

Sometime i use a saucepan to saute the onion and herbs then add rinsed chopped silver beet and chard with out any extra liquid, cover with lid and allow to steam itself Takes 5-7 min. (check regularly that it doesnt burn) But i find steaming in varoma keeps colour better.

Serve hot with salad, or cold as a snack lunch or in lunchbox.
