Whenever I have to go somewhere and take a plate, one of my go-to's is spinach and feta triangles. They are super easy, taste great warm or cold, are easy to transport and there is always an appreciative vegetarian who will eat them. Plus I love them, so they are an easy choice! Another dish I often make is a spinach, feta and artichoke dip, which always gets a lot of compliments. So today, I thought why not combine them?
Spinach Feta Artichoke Triangles
Ingredients
- 1 can of artichokes, drained and chopped.
- 1 small packet of frozen spinach, cooked and drained.
- about 3 spring onions, chopped. You want about 1 cup.
- about 300g of feta cheese, chopped
- a big handful of grated cheddar cheese
- white pepper to taste, I use about half a teaspoon
- a pinch of salt, but keep in mind the feta might already be salty
- about a tablespoon of parmesan cheese
- 1 packet of puff pastry sheets
- a bit of milk, for brushing the top.
Assembly
- Ensure everything that needs to be chopped is chopped - it doesn't need to be finely chopped or even uniformly chopped, but you don't want any large pieces. Raggedy shreds about the size of a teaspoon or smaller is ideal. (Just keepin' it technical here)
- Mix everything except for the pastry and milk together. (At this stage, you have a nice dip, congratulations! Put it in a flat dish, cover with more cheddar cheese and bake for 20 mins, serve with some decent crackers. Don't follow this step if you are making triangles.)
- Lay your pastry out, and cut into triangles. If you want big triangles, cut each pastry sheet in half, diagonally. If you want small triangles, cut each pastry sheet into quarters, diagonally. Or get wild and make rolls, it's up to you!
- Use a pastry brush to brush along the edges with milk, to help the triangles stay together in the oven.
- Spoon some filling onto half of each pastry triangle, then fold each triangle over to make a smaller triangle. Use a fork to press down on the edges that are joined.
- Brush over the tops with milk. This will make them brown nicely in the oven.
- Place on oven trays lined with baking paper.
- Bake in a medium oven for about 20 or 30 minutes, until nicely browned.
Wrap loosely in a tea towel, place on a plate or in a basket, and you are ready to go! Off to the park with you!
