Filo pastry parcels with feta

Ingredients for 6 people:
- 4 sheets of filo pastry
- 100g of spinach
- 200g of feta
- 1 egg
- 25g for chopped almonds
- 1 lemon, zested
- 4 pinches of grated nutmeg

- 1 tbsp of oil
Preparation:
1. Mash the feta in a terrine with a fork, add the egg, the almonds, the lemon zest and the nutmeg, salt lightly, add plenty of pepper and mix everything together.
2. Rinse the spinach and drain, keep only the best leaves: you will need three per filo pasty parcel.
3. Preheat the oven to 180°C (gas mark 6).
4. Cut the filo pasty sheets in four widthways.
5. Place a strip of filo pastry on the work surface, cover the top surface with three spinach leaves and garnish the centre with the feta mixture.
6. Turn down the filo pastry enclosing the spinach leaves and the filling, and fold into a triangle.
7. Repeat the operation with the other strips of filo pastry.
8. Oil a baking tray with a brush, place the little filo pastry parcels on it and lightly oil them with the brush too.
9. Place in the oven and leave to cook for 15mins, until the filo parcels are nicely golden.
6. Remove from the oven, arrange on a serving dish and serve without further ado.
