Lamb, Spinach And Feta Pie
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 2 medium onions, finely chopped
- 3 sticks celery, finely chopped
- 4 cloves garlic, crushed
- 2 lbs ground lamb
- 1/2 cup dry red wine
- 1 1/2 cups vegetable stock
- 1 can (28 oz) crushed tomatoes
- 1/3 cup tomato paste
- 1 tbsp chopped fresh oregano
- 2 None cinnamon sticks
- 5 oz feta cheese, crumbled
- 1 lb baby spinach leaves
- 2 None refrigerated pie crusts
- 1 None egg plus 1 egg yolk
- 1 tsp sea salt flakes
- 1 tsp fennel seeds
- Preheat the oven to 425u0b0F. Heat oil in a large skillet on medium heat. Cook onion and celery, stirring, for 5 mins, or until lightly browned. Add garlic; cook for 1 min.
- Increase heat to high. Add lamb; cook, stirring, until browned, breaking it up with the back of a spoon. Add wine; simmer for 2 mins. Add stock, crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, oregano and cinnamon; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low; simmer, uncovered, for 35 mins, or until the liquid has evaporated and sauce is thick. Remove from heat. Cool.
- Stir feta and spinach into lamb mixture. Season to taste. Spoon into a 9-inch pie plate or 1 1/2-quart baking dish.
- Using a fluted pastry wheel, or a knife, cut each pie crust into 9 equal rectangles. Place pastry rectangles, slightly overlapping, to cover filling in 2 concentric circles. Cut a slit in the top of the pie. Brush pastry with combined beaten egg and egg yolk; sprinkle with salt and fennel seeds.
- Bake for 25 mins, or until pastry is a deep golden. Cover with foil if it starts to over-brown. Let stand for 10 mins before serving.
