Method

Spinach and fetta pie

1.In a food processor, process flour and olive oil spread, until fine crumbs form. Add iced water; pulse until mixture forms a ball. Wrap dough in plastic food wrap. Chill 30 minutes.

2.Preheat oven to 180°C (160°C fan-forced). Grease and line a 26 x 16cm (base measurement) slice pan with baking paper, extending paper at long sides for handles.

3.On a floured surface, roll dough out, to form a rectangle slightly larger than prepared pan. Gently press into prepared pan. Trim edges; press with a fork. Chill until required.

4.Heat oil in a frying pan over moderate heat. Add onion and garlic. Cook, stirring, 3 minutes or until soft.

5.Using hands, squeeze excess liquid from spinach. Add spinach to pan. Cook, stirring, 1 minute or until heated. Cool mixture slightly.

6.Spoon half the spinach mixture evenly over pastry in pan. Sprinkle with feta and ricotta. Top with remaining spinach mixture. Season.

7.Whisk eggs and mint in a jug. Pour over filling in pan. Level surface. Bake 40 minutes, or until golden and set. Stand 5 minutes. Serve pie with salad and lemon wedges.
