Ingredients

Method

1.Remove the kale from the stems; discard stems. Heat the oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Add the kale and watercress; cover and cook for 3 minutes or until wilted. Transfer to a colander to drain and cool completely. Press the mixture firmly against the colander to ensure all the liquid has been removed.
2.Combine onion, dill, parsley, ricotta and egg in a large bowl. Add the wilted greens and feta; season with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper.
3.Preheat the oven to 180°C (160°C fan- forced). Grease an 18cm x 26cm slice pan.
4.Brush one sheet of filo lightly with the melted butter; place another sheet on top. Repeat brushing and layering another 3 sheets of filo. Lift the filo into the pan.
5.Spoon the kale mixture over the filo, smooth the top.
6.Repeat buttering and layering the remaining 5 pieces of filo and place on top of the pan; tuck edges of filo down the sides to enclose. Brush the top with any remaining butter; sprinkle with the poppy seeds. Bake for 1 hour or until browned.

Not suitable to freeze. Kale mixture suitable to microwave.
