Ingredients

400 g of spinach (or kale or arugula or Swiss chard)

1/2 tsp of salt

1 bunch of parsley (or basil or cilantro)

1 fennel bulb

2 green onions

1 beaten egg

200 g feta cheese

1 package of Phyllo paste

Olive oil

Directions

Chop the spinach (or any other greens) into small pieces.

Put the spinach in a large bowl and add salt. Rub with your hands.

Rest for an hour, then press to extract the liquid.

Chop the parsley, the leaves of the fennel and the green onions and add to the spinach.

Add the egg and the crumbled feta.

Smear with oil a 8''x 8'' cooking dish and put 6 sheets of Phyllo paste, smearing with olive oil every 2 sheets.

Spread uniformly the spinach mix and cover with 6 more sheets, smearing with olive oil every 2 sheets, as previously.

Carve the top sheet into beg squares and moisten with a little bit of water to prevent puff up of the paste.

Oven bake at 350°F for about 45 minutes or until golden.
