Ingredients
2 bunches asparagus, trimmed
1 bunch spring onions, trimmed and sliced
3 tbsp olive oil
180g bag baby spinach
50g unsalted butter, melted
270g pack Jus-Rol Filo Pastry Sheets
3 large free-range eggs
250g ricotta
200g feta, crumbled
100g pine nuts, toasted
1 lemon, zest of
1 tsp dried oregano
Method
1Pre-heat the oven to 190C/170C Fan/Gas 5. Cut the trimmed asparagus into short lengths. Add to a pan of simmering water and simmer for 3 minutes. Drain on kitchen paper.
2Cook the spring onions in 1 tbsp of the oil in a frying pan until slightly softened. Add the spinach and stir until it wilts. Tip into a sieve and press with the back of a spoon to remove any excess water.
3Melt the butter with the rest of the oil. Use some to lightly grease a small roasting tin or 30cm x 20cm ovenproof dish. Put one sheet of filo pastry in the bottom of the tin or dish and brush with the butter mixture. Cover with another 3 sheets of filo, brushing each sheet with butter mixture as you put them in.
4Beat the eggs and, using a fork, mix together with the ricotta and feta. Add the asparagus, spinach mixture, pine nuts, zest and oregano. Season well. Add the mixture to the tin.
5Cut the remaining sheets of filo in half. Brush with the remaining butter mixture, then scrunch the sheets up loosely and place on top of the dish, making sure it is completely covered.
6Bake for 35-45 minutes or until the pastry is golden.
