Instructions

Prep the Tomatoes
1

Preheat your oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7. Remove the filo pastry from the fridge to bring to room temperature.

Remove the pastry from the packet (see ingredients for amount) and lay flat on the counter, covered with a damp tea towel.

Halve the baby plum tomatoes and place them onto a piece of foil with a drizzle of oil, then season with salt and pepper. Fold the foil, sealing on all sides to create a parcel.

Prep the Filling
2

Meanwhile, boil a full kettle. Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).

Put the spinach into a colander in your sink. Pour over the boiling water from your kettle until wilted and piping hot. Once wilted, squeeze out all of the excess water from the spinach with the back of a spoon.

Make the Filling
3

Place a large frying pan on medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the garlic until fragrant, 1 min.

Add the spinach, creme fraiche, dried oregano and water (see pantry). Crumble in the Greek style salad cheese. Stir to combine, and simmer, 1-2 mins. Season with salt and pepper.

Meanwhile place the tomato parcel onto a large baking tray. Roast on the bottom shelf until softened, 15-20 mins. 

Bake the Pie
4

Transfer the spinach and cheese filling to a suitably sized ovenproof dish.

Halve the filo pastry sheets to make squares. Scrunch each filo pastry square into a very loose ball and place on top of the pie. Repeat until the whole pie is covered in filo balls.

Drizzle with oil and bake on the top shelf of your oven until the filo is golden, 10-15 mins.

Dress the Rocket
5

Share the rocket between your plates, drizzle with the olive oil (see pantry) and season with salt and pepper.

Serve
6

Share the spanakopita inspired cheese and spinach filo pie between your plates.

Serve the slow roasted tomatoes alongside the dressed rocket.
