Ingredients

• 500 grams Frozen spinach
• 3 tablespoons Fresh dill, finely chopped
• 3 tablespoons Fresh parsley, finely chopped
• 2 tablespoons Fresh mint, finely chopped
• 4 stalks Spring onions, finely chopped
• 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 10 sheets Phyllo dough sheets
• 6 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with olive oil.

Step 2

Thaw the frozen spinach and squeeze out any excess water using a kitchen towel or cheesecloth.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the spinach, fresh dill, parsley, mint, spring onions, and garlic. Mix well.

Step 4

Add salt and black pepper to the spinach mixture, and stir to evenly distribute the seasoning.

Step 5

Lay one sheet of phyllo dough in the baking dish and lightly brush it with olive oil. Repeat this process with 4 more sheets, layering them evenly.

Step 6

Spread the spinach-herb mixture over the layered phyllo sheets to create an even layer.

Step 7

Place the remaining phyllo sheets on top of the spinach mixture, brushing each sheet lightly with olive oil as you layer them.

Step 8

Using a sharp knife, score the top layers of phyllo into squares or diamond shapes—this will make cutting the pie easier after baking.

Step 9

Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the phyllo dough is golden brown and crispy.

Step 10

Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
