Turkish Spinach and Feta Pastries

Ingredients

• 200 grams wheat phyllo dough
• 400 grams spinach
• 150 grams feta cheese
• 1 medium onion
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 large eggs
• 0.5 teaspoon nutmeg
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 3 tablespoons dill

Instructions

1. 1Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Lightly oil a baking tray.
2. 2Wash the spinach thoroughly and chop roughly. Sauté with finely chopped onion in a tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil until the spinach is wilted and the onion is translucent.
3. 3In a large bowl, combine the sautéed spinach and onion mixture with crumbled feta cheese, beaten egg, nutmeg, black pepper, and finely chopped fresh dill.
4. 4Carefully lay out a sheet of whole wheat phyllo dough on a clean surface. Brush lightly with extra virgin olive oil. Place about a quarter of the spinach and feta mixture along one edge.
5. 5Roll the dough tightly around the filling, folding in the edges to seal. Repeat with the remaining dough and filling.
6. 6Place the rolls on the prepared baking tray. Brush the tops with a little more olive oil.
7. 7Bake in the preheated oven for about 30 minutes, or until the pastries are golden brown and crispy.
8. 8Allow to cool slightly before serving.
9. 9Serve warm as an appetizer or part of a mezze platter.
