ingredients:
375g ricotta
1 bunch silverbeet
60g baby spinach
1 leek, washed
3 garlic cloves
100g marinated goats cheese
3 eggs
100g grated Parmesan
150g filo pastry
140g butter, melted
Salt and pepper
OPTIONAL: black sesame seeds
Preparation:
Preheat your oven to 180°C
Prepare the silverbeet by removing the stalks from the leaves and chopping the leaves. Disgaurd the stalks
In a large saucepan cook the minced garlic, sliced leek and butter or olive oil (1tbsp) until soft, with pepper and salt. Add the silverbeet and spinach until reduced in size and soft. Put mixture in a colander to drain off any excess liquid, set aside to cool
In a large mixing bowl add, eggs, grated Parmesan, goats cheese, tsp salt, ricotta and the cooled spinach mixture. Mix together well
Using a large cake tin, over line with baking paper and brush some melted butter on the baking paper
Lay out the filo pastry, using a pastry brush, start painting each sheet with butter and overlaying the filo into the cake tin. When you have used all the filo add the spinach mixture
Scrunch and fold over the edges of the filo to create a border around the edge, this will be lovely and crispy when cooked
Paint on the remaining butter to the filo and sprinkle sesame seeds if using, add salt and pepper
Put in the oven for an 75 minutes, or until golden brown and firm in the centre
