Step 1

Sauté the onion and garlic in a little olive oil until very soft but not browned, add the spinach and stir until it wilts and any liquid dries off.

Step 2

Tip the mixture into a bowl and add the feta and lemon zest.

Step 3

Before you begin assembling the Sambousik, unroll the thawed phyllo sheets and place them carefully between two ever-so-slightly damp kitchen cloths. (This helps the sheets remain lenient so they won't tear too much).

Step 4

Brush a sheet of phyllo with little oil or butter and cut it lengthways into 3 strips.

Step 5

Put 1 tbsp of the filling mix at the top of each strip and fold each over diagonally to make a triangle, then continue to fold over down the length of the pastry.

Step 6

Repeat with the remaining filling and pastry, arrange the sambousik on a buttered baking sheet and brush the tops with more oil or butter.

Step 7

Heat the oven to 180C (with fan). 160C (without fan).

Step 8

Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until they’re golden brown and cooked through.

Step 9

Note: Thaw phyllo dough properly; too much moisture will make the dough or sheets sticky and hard to manage. When thawing, do not remove the phyllo (fillo) from the package, place it in the fridge 12-14 hours before using.
