Spinach, "Feta", Rice and Lentil Phyllo PieIngredients (use vegan versions): 1 large white onion
1 1/2 - 2 packages of frozen spinach, thawed
about 1 cup cooked basmati rice (or any rice)
about 1/2 to 2/3 cups of canned lentils, rinsed
good pinch of fresh dill
Feta cheese substitute (try seasoned firm tofu, crumbled)
about 8 phyllo sheets
olive oil
salt & pepper
Directions:Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
In a pan, fry onions in olive oil, for about 5 minutes, then add defrosted spinach. You can squeeze out as much excess water as necessary.
Add cooked basmati rice and lentils. Fry for a few more minutes and stir in the dill, as much as you like.
Toss in some "feta cheese" and take off the heat. Add salt and pepper.
In a medium oven proof dish (like Corning Ware, preferably oval or square), spread a little olive oil to prevent sticking.
Layer about 8 phyllo sheets, and add the spinach/ beans onions/ rice/ cheese mixture.
Gather the top, scrunching it together. Brush a little more olive oil as well.
Place in the oven, for about 30 minutes, until golden and flakey at the top.
Enjoy.
