- The spinach will gently steam in
the water that is left on the leaves.
- Take care to ensure that the
leaves don't catch on the base of the pan and burn.
- Drain well and allow the spinach
to cool slightly before squeezing it tightly to remove the excess
water.

frying pan.

a further 3 minutes.

extra oil and use it to grease 30 x 18 cm baking dish.
- Lay 4 sheets of filo pastry on top
of one another, brushing between each sheet with a little of the oil
mixture.

layered filo pastry.
- Spread with the remaining cheese
and spinach mixture and top with the last 4 layered pastry sheets,
tucking the pastry into the sides of the dish.
