Ingredients
1 Tbs olive oil
1 onion, diced
500 grams baby spinach, washed & dried
1/2 cup brown rice, cooked
3/4 cup cheese, grated
4 eggs
Puff pastry (or pie dough)
Directions
Preheat oven to 175C (350F). Saute onion in oil until soft. Add spinach and cook until wilted, about 1 minute. (There will probably be a lot of water in the pan so try to strain as much out as possible). In a large mixing bowl combine cooked rice, cheese and eggs. Mix well then add the spinach mixture. Stir thoroughly.
I use puff pastry because it's easy and fast but you can use premade pie shells or make your own dough. Lay two sheet of puff pastry into a greased pie dish, ensure sides of dish are covered. Pour in pie filling and top with two more sheets of pastry (make sure you spray a little oil in between sheets). Cut vents in top of pie. Bake in preheated oven for 45 minutes or until crust is golden brown.
*Note: I don't always measure precisely with this recipe. If I feel I need more filling I'll add a bit more rice or cheese.

Yum, yum, yum, yum, yum! I LOVE this dinner! I'm so glad you posted this recipe. The only other time I've tried to make this was when I was about 19 and it didn't turn out well. I made your recipe last week and it was delicious! I had to cook mine a little longer - about 60 minutes total - and it was perfect! And, yes, I cut my slice through the middle of the spinach layer and covered both sides with tomato sauce...ah...the good old days...
Tara made this while I was there and I agree, it was delicious.
