Carl Anthony Sole: Spinach and three cheeses

... in a puff-pastry or short crust pie of your choice

I serve this with some of Paul McCartney's potato 'n' onion mash. Awesome!

Ingredients

450g spinach
15ml sunflower oil
15g butter
1 small onion, finely chopped
175g ricotta cheese
115g feta cheese, cut into small cubes
75g Gruyère or Emmenthal cheese, grated
15ml fresh chopped chervil
5ml fresh chopped marjoram
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Pastry (short crust or puff) in a round 10in tin or dish
40-50g butter, melted

Method

Preheat oven to 190C/375F/gas mark 5.

Cook the spinach in a large saucepan over a moderate heat for 3-4 minutes until leaves have wilted, shaking saucepan occasionally. Strain and press out liquid.

Heat oil and butter in pan and fry the onion for 3-4 mins until softened. Remove from heat add half the spinach. Combine using a spoon.

Place all ingredients into the pie crust and bake for 20-30 minutes until the pastry is brown.
