Butternut squash and Stilton filo pie recipe
Ingredients
- 2½ tbsp olive oil
- 1kg butternut squash, seeded and cut into 1cm cubes
- 2 red onions, chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
- ½ tsp dried chilli flakes
- 200g wild mushrooms, sliced
- 500g fresh spinach
- 50g butter, melted
- 6 sheets filo pastry
- 100g Stilton, cubed
Method
- Preheat the oven to gas 4, 180°C, fan 160°C. Heat 2 tbsp oil in a large lidded pan over a medium
heat. Add the squash, season, then cover
and cook for 10 mins, until softened.
Add the onions and cook for 5 mins. Add the garlic and
chilli and cook for 1 min more. Tip the mixture into a bowl and set aside.
Heat the remaining oil in the same pan. Add the mushrooms
and fry for 1-2 mins. Remove from the heat and add to the bowl with the squash.
Meanwhile, put the spinach in a colander set over the sink.
Pour over a kettleful of boiling water to wilt. Squeeze out the excess water;
season.
Grease a 22cm springform tin with butter. Brush 1 sheet of
filo with butter and line the base of the tin, leaving an overhang. Repeat with
4 more sheets, layering each one at different angles for folding up later.
Fill with half the veg mixture, followed by half the
spinach, and then half the cheese. Add the remaining spinach, then top with the
remaining veg mixture and cheese. Fold the final filo sheet in half and use to
cover the filling. Fold over the overhanging pastry and scrunch up the ends.
Brush with melted butter and bake for 45 mins, or until golden and crisp. Leave
to cool in the tin for 10 mins before serving.
