Spinach triangles

Step 1
Preheat oven to 180^oC. Line two large oven trays with baking paper.

Step 2
Heat olive oil in a small fry pan over medium heat.

Step 3
Add the onion and garlic and cook stirring occasionally until the onion softens. Transfer to a bowl and set aside to cool.

Step 4
Add the spinach, ricotta, lemon zest and egg to the onion mixture and combine.

Step 5
Keep pastry sheets you’re not working with covered with a damp tea towel, so they don’t dry out.

Step 6
Place 1 sheet of pastry on a clean surface and  spray  with oil spray. Top with another sheet of pastry. Spray. Top with a third sheet of pastry and spray.

Step 7
With the long sides facing you, cut pastry into 5 strips. Put 1 tablespoon of the spinach mix in the corner of a strip and fold diagonally to form a triangle. Repeat with remaining pastry and mix.

Step 8
Arrange on the oven trays and spray with oil. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden.

Food safety tip: if you are packing leftovers for lunch, the triangles need to be kept cold so pack an ice brick.
