Step 1

Preheat oven to 200°C.

Step 2

Half and thinly slice onion. Wash the spinach. Trim and finely slice the salad onions. Zest the lemon. Beat the egg in a bowl.

Step 3

Heat 1/3 of the oil in a saucepan and sweat the onion and garlic with a pinch of salt over a medium heat for 6-8 minutes until soft.

Step 4

Meanwhile, put the spinach in a colander and pour boiling water over it until wilted. Refresh under cold water, and then squeeze out the excess water and pat dry on kitchen paper.

Step 5

Roughly chop the spinach and mix together with the sauteed onions and garlic, yoghurt, crumbled feta, salad onions, lemon zest, dill, egg and a grind of black pepper.

Step 6

Lay the filo sheets on the work surface and cover with a clean, damp tea towel. Brush a little of the oil over the base and sides of an oven proof baking dish roughly 20x12cm.

Step 7

Brush 3 sheets of pastry with oil and gently lay them on top of each other in the base of the dish.

Step 8

Evenly spoon in the spinach and feta filling.

Step 9

Cut the remaining four sheets of filo so they just fit snugly on top of the filling. Brush them with oil and gently layer over the filling.

Step 10

Fold any overhanging pastry from the base over the top and brush over with oil.

Step 11

Sprinkle with sesame seeds and bake for 30-40 minutes until golden and crisp.

Step 12

Rest for 10 minutes before serving with salad.
