Ingredients:
4 sheets PEGASUS Fine & Silky fillo dough.
1 tablespoon olive oil.
1/2 cup diced red onion.
2 garlic cloves, minced.
3 lbs. frozen spinach.
2 oz. Soft fresh goat cheese.
1/3 cup toasted pine nuts.
3 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese.
1/2 teaspoons minced fresh rosemary.
1/2 teaspoons grated lemon peel.
1/2 cup unsalted butter.

Preparation:
Heat oil in heavy large skillet over medium heat. Add onion and garlic and sauté 5 minutes. Increase heat to high. Add spinach and sauté until wilted, about 5 minutes. Drain spinach mixture, pressing on solids to release as much liquid as possible. Transfer to bowl and cool completely. Add goat cheese, pine nuts, parmesan, rosemary and lemon peel. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Place 1 fillo sheet on work surface. Cut lengthwise into 3 strips. Brush with butter. Place 1 rounded tablespoon filling at one end of dough strip. Starting at one corner, fold pastry over filling, forming triangle. Repeat, folding up length of pastry as for flag. Brush with butter. Repeat with remaining pastry, butter and filling. Transfer turnovers to baking sheet. Cover and chill. Preheat oven to 375. Bake turnover until golden, about 12 minutes. Cool slightly and serve.
