Spinach Roll with Feta and Pine Nuts.

Happy New Year to everyone!
I hope that this year is going to be the best for your families , may all your wishes come true and everything you do will be successful! In Russia, the traditional holiday season is still going , it finishes on the 14 of December with the "Old Style New Year". I couldn't even dream of starting to explain that one!
I'm sure that by now you all are sick and tired of the Holiday Season food extravaganza.
So , here, in my kitchen, I try to come up with some vegetarian main dishes recipes , which are delicious, filling (it is still cold out there), but not too heavy on your tummy.
Even if you are a carnivore, like my husband, you are going to like this. Use the best puff pastry you can buy, unless you prefer making your own.This roll is great hot or cold, I would recommend to serve it with some green salad. The recipe makes enough for 6 adults.If there are less of you, still make the full recipe, keep it for the lunch next day, still delicious!
300 gr of fresh spinach
200 gr feta cheese
50 gr pine nuts, toasted
a small pinch of salt
pepper to taste
nutmeg to taste (I love loads of it)
approximately 300 gr good quality puff pastry sheet



Preheat the oven gas mark6/200C.
Boil the kettle, and pour the boiling water over the spinach, this will cook it. Squeeze the excess water out.
Line the baking tray with some baking paper, lay the pastry sheet on it. 
Put the spinach on it, crumble the feta cheese and sprinkle the pine nuts. Season with salt,pepper and nutmeg.
Gently roll it up.

Brush the top with some milk and make a few incisions with a knife.

Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until all puffed up and golden. Allow to cool in the oven for a few minutes.

Now slice and serve! Easy and tasty!
Enjoy!
