Heat the oil in a frying pan and cook the onion and garlic for 10 minutes over a low heat, until soft but not browned.

Add the spinach and cook for 5 minutes, stirring. Tip into a sieve and press to remove as much liquid as possible. Set aside to cool.

Line the tin with the filo sheets, brushing each sheet with oil and leaving excess pastry overhanging.
