Method

  1. Preheat the oven to gas 6, 200°C, fan 180°C. Put the onions, squash, chilli and oregano in a large roasting tin. Drizzle with the oil and season well. Roast for 35-40 minutes, until tender. Set aside to cool a little.
  2. Fill a kettle with fresh water and boil. Put the spinach in a colander set over the sink and pour over the boiling water to wilt. Refresh under the cold tap, then squeeze out as much excess water as possible. Tip the spinach onto a board and roughly chop.
  3. Add the spinach, feta and parsley to the squash mixture and toss to combine; season to taste. Divide the mixture between 4 x 300ml (1/2pt) pie dishes, adding 1 tbsp of water to each. Unroll the pastry and cut out 4 lids, one to fit each pie dish; set aside. Press the pastry trimmings round the rim of each dish and brush with beaten egg. Top each pie with a pastry lid, crimp to seal, and brush all over with the beaten egg. Make a small steam hole in the centre of each.
  4. Arrange the pies on a baking tray and cook for 25-30 minutes, until puffed and golden. Serve immediately.
