<p>These greek-inspired spinach, pine nut and ricotta filo pinwheels are perfect for vegetarians and are simple to make too packed with spinach. </p>

Vegetarian

Fresh baby spinach

Sunflower oil

Red Onion,  Sliced

Clove Garlic,  Crushed

Pine Nuts,  Toasted

Freshly grated nutmeg

Sheets filo pastry

Melted butter,  for brushing

Carton ricotta

Sesame Seeds

Preheat the oven to 200c/fan oven 180c/gas mark 6. Wash the spinach and place in a pan with just the water clinging to the leaves, season, cover the pan and cook for 34 minutes until tender. Drain thoroughly and squeeze out any excess water. Heat the oil in a frying pan, add the onion and garlic and cook for 3 minutes until softened. Add the pine nuts and cook for a minute or two until golden, then stir in the spinach. Season with salt, pepper and nutmeg.

step 1

Cut the sheets of filo in half and brush with melted butter. Spread the spinach mixture over the bottom third of each rectangle. Scatter with ricotta then roll up from the short side tucking in the sides as you go, to form a long cigar shape. Brush the outside of the cigar-shaped roll with butter, then coil it into a pinwheel and tuck it into a buttered 20cm (8in) loose-bottomed cake tin. Repeat with the remaining spinach mixture, ricotta and filo pastry, arranging them round the edge of the tin, with one in the middle.

step 2

Brush the top of the filo wheels with melted butter and scatter with sesame seeds. Bake for 2025 minutes until golden and crisp.
