With flaky pastry, tangy feta, fresh dill, and nutritious spinach, this dish is a win whether it’s dinner, lunch, or picnic fare.

Ingredients Needed

• 350g frozen spinach (defrosted)
• 500g self-raising flour, plus extra for dusting
• 2 bunches of dill (40g)
• 200g feta cheese
• 75g sesame seeds

How To Make Jamie Oliver 5 Ingredients Spinach and Feta Pie

1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 220°C (425°F). This gets your baking nice and golden.
2. Prepare the Spinach: Defrost the spinach thoroughly and then squeeze out as much water as you can. This prevents a soggy pie.
3. Make the Dough: In a large bowl, mix the self-raising flour with a pinch of sea salt. Gradually add 325ml of water, stirring with a fork to form a dough. Knead it on a floured surface until smooth, then let it rest on a lightly oiled area.
4. Mix the Filling: Finely chop the dill and spinach. Crumble in the feta and mix everything together. Season with black pepper.
5. Roll the Dough: Roll or stretch the dough out on your oiled surface to around 40cm x 60cm.
6. Assemble the Pie: Lift half the dough into an oiled 30cm x 40cm tray. Spread the spinach filling evenly, leaving a 2cm border. Fold the overhanging dough over the filling and seal the edges by pressing or twisting.
7. Top with Sesame: Rub the top with a bit of olive oil and sprinkle sesame seeds all over, pressing them in gently.
8. Bake: Place on the bottom shelf of your oven and bake for about 25 minutes until golden brown and puffed.
9. Serve: Cut into pieces and enjoy hot, warm, or even cold—ideal for leftovers!
