Fillo pastry forms a delicious case for all sorts of fillings, meat and vegetable alike. Use this recipe as a starting point for your own creations – combine ricotta, haloumi, akawi or any Middle Eastern white cheese with chicory, herbs or any leafy greens. It’s important to wilt leafy greens well and squeeze out as much liquid as possible so that the filling doesn’t make the pastry soggy; fresh herbs can just be stirred through the cheese without wilting. These spinach and cheese triangles are best eaten as soon as they’re baked, as they tend to go soggy if reheated. Serve them with a Greek salad (see video below), some olives and pickles for a simple mezze.
