Braai pie

Ingredients

• 45ml butter
• onion
• 15ml all-purpose flour
• 250g spinach
• 150g feta cheese
• 115g (half a tub) cream cheese
• 3ml nutmeg
• Salt and black pepper
• 1 x 250g roll of ready-to-roll puff pastry

Method

1. Chop and sauté the onion over a medium heat until soft.
2. Sprinkle the flour over the onions and add the spinach, allowing it to wilt. The flour should help absorb the extra liquid from the spinach.
3. Crumble in the feta and stir in the cream cheese and nutmeg. Season with salt and pepper.
4. Roll out the pastry on a lightly floured surface.
5. Add the filling onto half of the pastry, leaving the edges open.
6. Fold the pastry and press the edges together to stop any of the ingredients falling out of the sides.
7. Place the pie on a braaing grid and bake on the coals until the pastry is golden on both sides.
