| 1. Preheat your oven to 400°F. | 2. Lightly grease a 8 1/2 in springform pan. | 3. Fry the mince and onion in a dry nonstick pan until golden. | 4. Add the garlic, tomatoes, mint, nutmeg and seasoning. | 5. Bring to the boil, and simmer, stirring occasionally until most of the liquid has evaporated. | 6. Wash the spinach and remove any tough stalks, then cook the leaves in only the water clinging to them for about 2 minutes. | 7. Drain the leaves well and then mix through the meat mixture. | 8. I sometimes add 1/4 lb of crumbled feta at this stage. | 9. Lightly brush each sheet of phyllo pastry with oil and lay in overlapping layers in the tin, leaving enough over hanging to wrap over the top. | 10. Spoon the meat and spinach mix in then wrap the pastry over to enclose. | 11. Scrunch up any remaining pastry into balls, and place over the top of the pie. | 12. Sprinkle with the sesame seeds and then bake for about 25-30 minutes or until golden. | 13. I like to let this cool a little, and serve it with a green salad. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
