In this video I will be reacting to Jimmy Oliver’s feta and spinach Filo pie okay let’s watch this insired crispy Foo t with spinach feta cheese and cheddar cheddar well it’s not traditional in a Spanakopita but yet he doesn’t call it a Spanakopita so I will allow it beautiful flavor
But dead dead simple for you to be a to do in under half an hour that looks like you’ve been cooking for hours span will be in under half an hour oh wow big claims Jamie let’s see first job
Pine nuts 100 G straight into your Pan on a kind of medium high heat to pine nuts he certainly pushes the envelope H I’ve heard of spinach pies with green onion with deal with parsley but never
With pine nuts Bo them up just takes a minute for the rest of the uh pie filling five eggs eggs 300 G of feta chip hey you yes you you are a legend for watching thank you so much if you could
Be so kind can you please like share and subscribe it will help out the channel a lot thank you I’m going to use 50 g of cheddar cheese cuz it does give the whole dish are kind of really nice gooey
Ooz season it up at least the ratio of fet cheddar isn’t bad with pepper a little bit of salt we’ve got the feta in there so go easy you can see over here the nuts they’re pretty perfect now
So I’m just going to take them off the heat and I’m using some nice flouring oregano the normal stuff is fine too just give it a little scrunch about a teaspoon of that goes in the oregano is
A nice touch get a fork and roughly mix it up put these pine nuts straight straight in here this can go back on the heat and then mix it up and then straight on to the spinach eggs in a spinach pie
That’s odd I’ve seen someone using a single egg just for its binding power but these many eggs won that make it more in the area of a Kish put some olive oil just a couple of tablespoons in a
Pan and it takes 40 seconds to Will it down um I don’t know why would you cook the spinach twice a little bit of seasoning and 10 little rubs of nutmeg in there once it’s wilted down a bit have a
Little go at the other bag it looks like it’s too much for the pan but it it will totally Wilt down the zest of one lemon goes in just a little knob of butter that’s nice look you completely wilted
It down now get some grease prooof paper run it under attack scrunch it up in a ball that’s a very unique technique Jamie I want to see what you will do with this then youve got something that’s
Really soft not more like a handkerchief work straight onto here and then put a little olive oil with this felo pastry that’s a smart move buying pre-made Pho pastry instead of making it from scratch it saves you a lot of time it’s very thin it doesn’t need loads of cooking um
But of course the reason it’s so damn brilliant is because it goes crispy you want to create an area of pastry bigger than the pan so you got sides and a sort of a lid so almost half as big as the pan
Again and I’m going to cook it by the way in this pan so I’m only using one pan to one pan M that’s sounds very interesting fry one pan to cook in I’m just going to lay this pastry in and around put
Four sheets down and then put a little olive oil Pat it like this I’ve got some nice sweet cayenne pepper here see why are you using cayenne pepper here Jamie is completely out of the Greek Aroma profile and you did such things earlier like using butter and Nutmeg and then repeat the
Layers the quicker you are the better and we’ll do about three or maybe three and a half four layers so we’ve got the pastry get all of that spinach quickly into that egg mixture you can give it one
That scrambled the egg little wipe out if you want just bring the pan over here pick up the grease proof paper and drag it over like that and then you can push it in oh that looks very
Efficient way of cooking H and then with this spinach here mix mix this up and just pour it in maybe a little extra cheese just on the top like that I want you to get the pastry and pull it back over itself ultimately we’re making a beautiful pie that would normally take
Certainly an hour to cook and we’re doing it in under half an hour so so we need to be clever and what’s lovely about this is even if you’re a raven idiot like me it is quite clever but it
Looks something between a Kish and a spinach pie even if you do it badly and it tears or anything like that it’s if it’s wrong it’s right tear off this paper around here and in the cooking it will
Carry on protecting that pastry we’re going to put it on that high heat for about 2 minutes just to get that pastry crisp you can sort of see around here you’re just starting to get crispiness grab just a little bit of Rosemary and put it around this lovely tart here we’re going
To bang that in the oven for about 20 minutes it’s going to be good let’s see the end result it just comes off like that it’s beautiful an epic epic tart get yourself a nice big knife
Stab it in there take it to the table the fact that as you cut it it goes crunch crunch crunch all your guests will be going absolutely mad and that is a beautiful because he calls this Pie as
Inspired by span goita I am not that mad about it and Jamie gets a lot of bullying from people like Uncle Roger already no no no no no no no no no putting Jem in rice this is disgusting who put
J I understand why Jamie can be so controversial because he uses such creative decisions in his recipes you know there are so many recipes and you have to stand out you need to do something different and a chef of Jamie’s caliber will definitely do some Innovation to make it faster
To make it easier to make it more approachable by the everyday cook you know he gets a lot of hate but I think a lot of his recipes are actually very beginner friendly so unlike the rest of
YouTube I am not going to un dunk on him you know what I don’t hate it it’s fairly simple it’s a one pan recipe it looks quite traditional not all the way but it it looks all right actually
Jamie you did a great job here well done what did you think about Jamie’s recipe do you think it looks tasty or a vom Fest let me know down in the comments we reached 109 subscribers woohooo so if
