ingredients

  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 cup minced onion
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 2 tsp dried basil
  • 1 tsp oregano
  • 1 lb. fresh spinach, cleaned, stemmed and minced
  • 8 large cloves garlic, minced
  • freshly ground black pepper
  • 3 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1/2 lb. phyllo dough
  • 1/2 cup olive oil or melted butter or oil spray for phyllo
  • 1/2 lb. shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 2 medium ripe tomatoes, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup Kalamata olives
  • 3/4 lb. crumbled feta cheese

directions

  • 1

    Preheat oven to 375°.

  • 2

    Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large, deep skillet. Add onion and salt and cook over medium heat for about 2 minutes, or until onion softens. Add herbs and spinach, and cook over low heat, stirring, until the spinach is limp and the liquid has evaporated (about 5 to 8 minutes). Remove from heat; stir in garlic, black pepper, and lemon juice. Set aside.

  • 3

    Brush a large baking tray with olive oil, and begin layering with phyllo leaves, brushing or spraying with oil (or brushing with butter) between layers. Continue until you have a pile of phyllo layers. Gently cut into large-ish squares. (You can choose the dimensions.) Sprinkle the top surface of each square with shredded mozzarella cheese.

  • 4

    Use a slotted spoon to transfer the spinach mixture to the top of the mozzarella layer, leaving behind whatever liquid failed to evaporate. Spread the spinach mixture evenly into place, leaving a small border of pastry around the edges.

  • 5

    Arrange the tomato slices and olives over the spinach, and sprinkle crumbled feta over the top. Bake for 30 minutes, then allow to cool for 10 minutes before serving.
