Method

  1. Soften the leeks in the butter for a couple of mins. Add the spinach to the pan, cover and cook for 5-6 mins more until the spinach has just thawed.
  2. In a separate bowl, beat the ricotta and eggs with the parmesan, spinach mix, nutmeg and plenty of seasoning. Stir in the artichokes and tomatoes.
  3. Heat oven to 180C/fan 160C/gas 4. Line the base and sides of a greased 23cm clip-sided or loose-based tin with the filo pastry. Brushing each sheet lightly with the oil, place in the tin, oil-side down, leaving excess to hang over the edge. Turn the tin a quarter turn after each sheet.
  4. Tip filling into the tin, fold excess pastry onto the top of the pie, a sheet at a time, crumpling to give a ruffled effect. Bake for 11⁄2hrs until golden and firm.

    This is very nice - I've made a few times for family christenings and so on as an alternative to quiche. Very easy - usually made it the morning it was needed and it was ready by lunchtime. Have eaten it hot and cold, either way it's nice.

    I do not live in the UK so could somebody please tell me if sunblush tomatoes are a variety of fresh tomatoes or a type of sundried tomatoes. Thanks.

    Sunblush tomatoes are semidried totatoes usually stored in oil. Hope this helps.

    I baked this pie a week ago & who ever tasted it, quite a few people, were impressed. The only thing I changed is that I added some polpa instead of sun blushed tomatoes ...the polpa gave it added moisture as it's overall ingredients are quite dried ...I also used one egg less as am not too fond of eggs ... really worth trying ...

    Really easy, pretty quick and very tasty. Looks impressive when taken out of the tin and served. I served mine with buttery new potatoes, peas and mint.
