Ingredients

  • 1 sheet puff pastry
  • 2 cups spinach, chopped
  • ½ cup feta cheese, crumbled
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • ¼ tsp black pepper
  • ½ tsp salt (adjust to taste)
  • 1 egg (for brushing)
  • 1 tbsp sesame or nigella seeds

Method

  1. Prepare filling: Heat oil in a pan. Sauté onion and garlic, then add spinach and cook until wilted. Let it cool.
  2. Add cheese: Mix in feta, black pepper and salt.
  3. Prepare pastry: Spread puff pastry on a flat surface and cut into squares.
  4. Fill: Place spinach mixture on each square and fold diagonally into triangles. Seal edges with a fork.
  5. Brush: Apply beaten egg and sprinkle sesame or nigella seeds.
  6. Bake: Place on a lined baking tray and bake at 200°C for 20–25 minutes, until golden and crispy.

Serving

Serve warm with garlic yogurt dip, mint chutney or ketchup.

Tip: Drain excess moisture from the spinach filling before adding it to the pastry to keep the triangles crispy!
