Fast Spanakopita

Ingredients:

• 280g frozen spinach (thawed)
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1/2 onion, cut into thin rings;
• 2 green onions, thinly sliced;
• 2 cloves of garlic, minced;
• ½ teaspoon dried oregano
• ½ teaspoon hot pepper (optional);
• salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste;
• ¼ cups of freshly chopped dill
• 1 teaspoon lemon zest
• 1 cup shredded feta cheese
• a pinch of nutmeg (optional);
• 10 sheets of filo dough;
• ¾ cup butter, melted.

Preparation

1. You will have to tinker a little with this appetizer, but it will turn out to be a lot and very tasty! Preheat oven to 175 degrees and line two medium baking sheets with parchment paper. Using a clean kitchen towel, squeeze any excess moisture out of the defrosted spinach. Transfer to a large bowl.
2. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onions and green onions and sauté for 5 minutes. Then add the garlic, oregano and red hot peppers, and season with salt and pepper. Transfer the mixture to a bowl of spinach.
3. Add dill, lemon zest, feta and nutmeg to a bowl of spinach and stir until smooth. Taste and add more salt and black pepper if necessary.
4. Remove the filo dough from the refrigerator and cover with a slightly damp kitchen towel. Take one sheet, place it on a clean surface, brush it with melted butter, then cover with another sheet. Also lubricate it with oil. Then cut them into six long strips of equal size.
5. Place a tablespoon of the filling in the corner closest to you on one strip of filo and roll into a roll. Prepare as many rolls as there is enough filling.
6. Place the rolls on a baking sheet, seam side down and brush with butter. Bake until golden brown and crisp, 20 to 23 minutes. Let cool slightly before serving.
