Spanakopita Sun Pastry
I loved this from day one. I have been meaning to make a spanakopita for literally years, so when I was coming up with some new video ideas and given it was close to entertaining season, this idea seemed a natural progression. Of course you don't need to do the star/sun thing...but how cute is it? I love it.
I will be making this several times throughout the year...not just at Christmas. I hope you enjoy it as much as we do! Merry Mixing!

- 2-3 spring onions, cut in pieces
- Thermomix bowlful baby spinach leaves
- 100 Grams feta cheese, cubed
- 2 Pinches pink salt flakes to taste BUY

Do
- 1
Make sure your pastry is ready to roll. You can make this in advance by up to a week.
- 2
Preheat oven to 220°C and line a large flat baking tray with paper.
- 3
Place the parmesan and garlic into the Thermomix bowl and mill 10 sec/speed 10.
- 4
Tip out into a seperate bowl.
- 5
Place all remaining ingredients except egg wash into the Thermomix bowl and chop 2 sec/speed 6. Scrape down sides of bowl and repeat if necessary.
- 6
Add the parmesan and garlic mixture back into the bowl and stir with a spatula.
- 7
Divide the pastry into 2 equal pieces. Roll the first one into a circle, with at least a 25 cm circumference. Transfer it to the baking tray.
- 8
Spread the filling on top of the pastry round, right to the edges. This is important for the look later.
- 9
Roll the second piece to as close to the same size as you can manage. Puff pastry is very forgiving, so rustic is OK.
- 10
Place it on top of the filling and brush it with egg wash generously.
- 11
Follow the video instructions on how to cut and twist the pastry. Brush with egg wash again.
- 12
Place into the oven and reduce temperature to 200°C. Cook for 25-35 minutes until golden and puffed and fragrant.
