Beet Pie
Ingredients
- 1 bunch silverbeet (washed, leaves stripped and cut into small strips
- 1 onion (finely chopped)
- Grating of nutmeg
- 250g cottage or ricotta cheese
- 50g fetta cheese
- 2 eggs
- 3 Tbsp pine nuts (lightly roasted,
- in a frying pan for 2 minutes)
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 4-5 filo pastry sheets
- Olive oil, for brushing
- 1 Tbsp sesame seeds
Instructions
Serves 6. In a large bowl, put the spinach, onion, cheeses, nutmeg and eggs together and mix. Finally, add a few pine nuts and black pepper. To assemble, place the filo sheets on a damp towel to prevent them from drying out and brush a little oil across the sheet to keep it from becoming glued to the next one. Sprinkle some pepper over the sheet to keep them separated. Turn the sheet over to rest on the one underneath. Continue this process until they're all done. Spread the mixture along one end of the sheet. Fold over the ends and roll it away from yourself until it finishes on the seam. Brush with a little more oil and sprinkle with some sesame seeds. Place into the oven at 190C for about 40-45 minutes.
