Crustless spanakopita

Serves - 4

Spanakopita is a wonderful greek dish that is traditionally wrapped in crispy filo pastry which is completely delicious. I used to order it all the time in a great cafe in Camden town, when I worked there many years ago.

I’ve created this version simply leaving out the filo - and it’s still delicious.
