Ingredients
- 375g Essential Kale, washed, drained, thick stems removed
- 70g frozen Cooks’ Ingredients Garlic & Herb Butter (or Lurpak Butter With Garlic)
- 300g tub Essential Cottage Cheese
- 3 Waitrose British Blacktail medium Eggs
- 200g pack feta, crumbled
- 1 unwaxed lemon, zest, plus juice to serve
- 270g 4 sheets from a 270g pack filo pastry
- 120g pack baby leaf salad
Method
Preheat the oven to 200ºC, gas mark 6. Put the kale into a large frying pan, cover with a lid and wilt over a medium heat for 6-8 minutes, stirring often, until tender and the pan feels dry. Remove the lid and let any water evaporate if needed. Melt in 25g butter off the heat.
Whizz the cottage cheese with the eggs in a blender until smooth. Add the feta and blend briefly. Stir in the lemon zest and plenty of black pepper. Fold into the kale. Melt the remaining butter
Line a 25x 0cm roasting tin with the 4 filo sheets, brushing the area within the dish with butter for each layer. Alternate the direction of the sheet each time, letting the excess overhang evenly. Fill with the kale, then fold in each overhanging pastry edge in turn, brushing with butter as you go.
Mark the pie into 8 wedges with a sharp knife. Bake for 30 minutes, or until crisp and golden, then set aside to rest and settle for at least 10 minutes. Serve warm, with the salad leaves dressed with lemon juice and seasoning.
Cook’s tip
If you have nutmeg in the cupboard, add a pinch to the kale filling. You can add a handful of chopped dill or parsley too, if there’s some to use up in the fridge.
