Recipe: Bosnian Spinach Pie - serves 8! 1 package thawed filo pastry 2 bags washed fresh spinach 1 egg 1/4 cup sour cream (can use low fat) 1/2 lb feta cheese, crumbled 1 cup shredded mild cheddar cheese olive oil 1 1/2 teaspoons salt low-fat milk low-fat plain yogurt (optional) Preheat oven to 350F Wash and drain spinach. Chop spinach and put in a big glass bowl. Add salt and mix with hands. Leave the spinach to sit for about 10 minutes to allow the salt to draw out the water from the vegetable. Drain the spinach by either squeezing it bit by bit with your hand over the sink or by spinning several times in a salad spinner. Transfer drained spinach into a new bowl. Add egg, and sour cream. Fold in feta and cheddar cheese. Put some olive oil in a small bowl. Grease a 9"*13" glass or metal baking pan. Take your phyllo dough sheets and lie the sheets, stacked, on a dry surface. TIP: (While adding the filling, you may wish to cover the dough with a dry towel and then a damp one to keep it from drying out or flaking) Place one sheet of dough into the pan and cut away excess. Brush with oil, using either your hands or a pastry brush. Repeat until dough is 6 or 7 layers. Add a skim of filling with hands and spread evenly. Repeat steps 16-18 until the pie reaches the top of the pan or you run out of ingredients. Just make sure you finish with the dough on top, sort of like lasagna. Place pie in the oven, uncovered, about 45 minutes. The top becomes flaky. Pour on top of the pie while it is baking, 1/4 cup sour cream blended with 0.125 cup of milk. Bake for 15 more minutes. This dish can be served warm or room temperature. It is traditionally served with a yogurt beverage which is easily replicated by mixing the plain yogurt with milk, in equal parts.

I Miss Blighty - Week 41 Podcast - Listen Now Featuring: Our weekly quiz Pensioners and sharks! Your letters - from Lucozade to fairy fancies! The top BBC overseas programme sales 'Lost' on Channel 4 Scots film tops 'locations' poll Out and about in a typical Blighty village .... Recipe: Cornish Pasties Cornish pasties originated as portable lunches for tin miners, fishermen and farmers to take to work. Housewives used to make one for each member of the household and mark their initials on one end of the pasty. These complete-meal pasties, which vary slightly in content in different parts of Cornwall, were popular in other parts of the country too. In Bedfordshire, for instance, they put fruit in one end of the pasty, for dessert; these were called "Bedfordshire Clangers." A prime cut of meat, such as rump, is often used in Cornwall for the pasties but, because of the high price of rump, you can use blade. INGREDIENTS: Potato - 1 medium cut into 0.5 cm dice, Onion, 1 medium chopped, Blade of beef or rump steak - 225g (8 oz) cut into 1 cm cubes, Plain flour - 225g (8 oz), Butter - 50g (2 oz) diced, Lard - 50g (2 oz) diced, Cold water - to mix, Beaten egg or milk - to glaze. METHOD: 1. Pre-heat oven to 220C / 425F / Gas 7. 2. Place the potato, onion and meat in a basin and mix well. 3. Place the flour in a bowl. Add the butter and lard, rub in until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs. Add about 2 tablespoons of water and mix to form a firm dough. Turn out onto a floured surface and knead lightly. 4. Divide the pastry into 4. Roll out each piece to about 15-18 cm (6-7 inches). Trim by cutting round the edge of a small plate. 5. Divide the filling between each round. Brush the edges with water and draw up the pastry on each pasty, in a line over the centre of the filling. Seal well. Flute the edge with your fingers. 6. Place the pasties on a baking sheet, fluted edges uppermost. Brush each with a little beaten egg or milk. Bake for 40-45 minutes, until golden brown. 7. Serve hot or cold.
