300 g Frozen leaf spinach
1 Recipe Pie dough (see recipe overview in this issue)
2 Onions
1 Garlic clove
3 TABLESPOONS Oil
500 g mixed mince
1 TABLESPOON Tomato paste
7-10 Tbsp salt, pepper, nutmeg
200 g Cheddar cheese
1 Egg Yolk
3 TABLESPOONS Milk

Directions

1
Defrost spinach at room temperature. In the meantime prepare the pie dough and put it in a cool place.
2
For the filling, peel and finely dice or chop the onions and garlic. Heat the oil in a large pan. Fry the minced meat in it until crumbly. Fry the onions and garlic briefly. Squeeze out the spinach in portions and add.
3
Stir in the tomato paste. Season to taste with salt, pepper and nutmeg. Let the filling cool down for about 15 minutes. Roughly dice cheese and fold in.
4
Preheat oven (electric cooker: 175 °C/circulating air: 150 °C/gas: see manufacturer). For the base, roll out a good half of the dough and line a greased pie dish (26 cm Ø) with it. Distribute the filling evenly in the mould.
5
Roll out the rest of the dough as a lid and cut out stars. Place the dough on the filling using the baking paper. Carefully remove the baking paper. Press the dough base and lid together.
6
Decorate the border with a garland pattern (see page 73). Whisk the egg yolk and milk, spread a thin layer on the surface. Spread the stars on it and also brush it on. Bake the pie in a hot oven for about 50 minutes.
