Step 1

Lightly caramelise the onion with a little olive oil and salt in a pan.

Step 2

Wilt the spinach leaves and leave to cool and then squeeze out all water and roughly chop them up.

Step 3

Combine the onion, spinach and crumbled feta together in a bowl.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the oil and milk.

Step 5

Brush one edge of the longest side of the filo with some butter and attach another sheet slightly overlapping. Repeat this step 1 to 2 more times depending on the size of your pan or baking dish.

Step 6

Brush the filo all over with the milk and oil mix.

Step 7

Spread the spinach and feta filling along the longest edge to form a long sausage shape. Roll over to seal by around 2/3 turns. Cut the filo and trim if there is too much.

Step 8

Curl the sausage into a spiral and place into a greased pan.

Step 9

Brush the melted butter all across the top and bake until a deep golden colour in your Gozney Roccbox or Dome at 350°C.
