Yield: 10 – 12 servings

Prep time: 25 minutes

Level: Medium

Ingredients:

1 16-ounce package frozen filo dough
4 tablespoons Tnuva Butter, melted
2 ounces sesame seeds

Filling:
5 tablespoons olive oil
2 onions, diced
½ teaspoon fresh chili pepper, diced finely
6 cloves garlic, crushed
½ bag (14 oz.) frozen spinach, thawed and drained
2 containers Tnuva Quark Creamy Soft Cheese, 5%
2 tablespoons flour
1 bunch fresh parsley, chopped
3 eggs
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon white pepper
1 teaspoon lemon juice

Instructions:

1. To make the filling, heat the olive oil in a frying pan and add the diced onions. Sautee on medium heat until light brown. Add the fresh chili pepper and the garlic, and sautee for another minute. Add the spinach and sautee for another 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and transfer the mixture to a large bowl. Cool for about 10 minutes.
2. Add the remaining filling ingredients to the spinach mixture and mix well.
3. Heat the oven to 350 ⁰F. Grease a 10” Bundt pan with 1 tablespoon butter. Sprinkle the sesame seeds on the bottom and sides of the pan.
4. Open out one of the pieces of filo dough and brush with melted butter. Place on the bottom of the pan, leaving a wide enough edge to cover the filling. Repeat this procedure with 3 more pieces of filo dough so that the whole bottom of the pan is covered.. Pour the filling onto the dough, and then cover with the edges.
5. Bake for about 40 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from the oven and cool. Remove from the pan and serve.
