Greek Lamb Pie



Steps


Preheat your oven to 400f.
Lightly grease a 8 1 / 2 in springform pan.
Fry the mince and onion in a dry nonstick pan until golden.
Add the garlic , tomatoes , mint , nutmeg and seasoning.
Bring to the boil , and simmer , stirring occasionally until most of the liquid has evaporated.
Wash the spinach and remove any tough stalks , then cook the leaves in only the water clinging to them for about 2 minutes.
Drain the leaves well and then mix through the meat mixture.
I sometimes add 1 / 4 lb of crumbled feta at this stage.
Lightly brush each sheet of phyllo pastry with oil and lay in overlapping layers in the tin , leaving enough over hanging to wrap over the top.
Spoon the meat and spinach mix in then wrap the pastry over to enclose.
Scrunch up any remaining pastry into balls , and place over the top of the pie.
Sprinkle with the sesame seeds and then bake for about 25-30 minutes or until golden.
I like to let this cool a little , and serve it with a green salad.
