1 Fill a large pot about halfway with hot water (from the tap); cover with a lid and bring to a boil over high heat.

12 Wipe the skillet clean and return to medium heat. Add 1 tsp oil, swirl to coat, and lay the assembled pies in the pan. Cook until golden, 2-3 minutes per side. Remove from the heat and slice into wedges.

13 Cut the tomato into wedges. Peel and trim the ends of the cucumber, then thinly slice into rounds. Add to the bowl with the sliced onion.

14 Add olives, 1 tsp oil, 1/4 tsp oregano, 1/4 tsp salt, 1/8 tsp black pepper to the bowl and stir to combine the salad.

15 To serve, divide spinach pie and cucumber-tomato salad between plates. Enjoy!
