Ingredients:
- 5 sheets of brick pastry
- 80g clarified butter
- Olive oil for cooking
- 1 red onion, diced
- 1 clove of garlic, made into a paste
- 260g baby spinach, washed
- 130g feta cheese, crumbled
- 50g pine nuts, toasted
- Med Cuisine Organic Za'atar Tahini, to taste
- Salt, cracked black pepper, and lemon juice, to taste
- White sesame seeds and Med Cuisine Za'atar, for garnish
Instructions:
-
Clarify the Butter:
- Place butter in a small saucepan over very low heat until the milk solids separate. Set aside the clear fat.
-
Preheat Oven:
- Heat your oven to 180°C (356°F).
-
Cook Vegetables:
- In a pan, sauté the red onion in olive oil and a pinch of salt until golden. Add garlic paste and cook briefly.
- Gradually add spinach and cook until wilted. Transfer to a colander to drain and cool.
-
Prepare Filling:
- Squeeze excess liquid from spinach. Mix spinach with feta cheese, pine nuts, and a few tablespoons of Za'atar Tahini. Season with salt, pepper, and lemon juice.
-
Prepare Tart Pan:
- Grease a 22cm cake tin with a removable bottom using some of the clarified butter.
-
Assemble the Tart:
- Lay a sheet of pastry in the tin, brush with clarified butter, and overlap with another sheet. Repeat until all sheets are used, ensuring to brush each with butter.
- Spoon the spinach mixture into the pastry-lined tin. Drizzle with additional Za'atar Tahini.
-
Bake the Tart:
- Fold overhanging pastry over the filling, brushing each layer with more butter. Finish with a final brush of butter and sprinkle with sesame seeds and Za'atar.
- Bake at 180°C for 10 minutes, then reduce heat to 160°C and bake for another 5 minutes.
-
Cool and Serve:
- Let the tart cool slightly before removing from the tin. Serve warm.
Enjoy!
