Method

1.Boil, steam or microwave spinach until just wilted; drain. Squeeze out excess moisture; drain on absorbent paper.
2.Heat oil in a medium non-stick frying pan. Cook onion and garlic, stirring, until onion is soft. Combine onion mixture with chopped spinach, feta, pine nuts and herbs in a large bowl.
3.Preheat oven to moderate, 180°C.
4.Layer four pastry sheets, longer sides nearest you; spray each with cooking oil. Cut pastry into three strips crossways.
5.Place a rounded tablespoon of mixture on each narrow strip at the end closest to you, leaving a border.
6.Fold right corner closest to you diagonally across filling to form a triangle; fold again so point is facing away from you; then fold from left to right so point is facing you. Continue, retaining triangular shape and making sure each edge of triangular pocket is sealed.
7.Spray triangle with cooking oil spray. Place triangles on greased oven tray, seam side down; repeat with remaining ingredients to make 12 triangles. Bake about 20 minutes, or until browned lightly.
