Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350F.
  2. Place the artichoke slices in lemon water to prevent browning. Drain and set aside.
  3. Heat 2 tablespoons of the olive oil in a skillet and cook the spinach, artichokes, peas and onion until the mixture softens. Transfer to a bowl and allow to cool slightly, then mix in the eggs with the parsley and the remaining olive oil. Season with salt and pepper and refrigerate while you make and chill the pastry.
  4. Divide the pastry dough in half. Roll one half of the dough out into a 16-inch circle and line the base and sides of a 9-inch springform pan with one sheet of pastry. Fill the pan with the vegetable mixture. Cover with the second sheet of pastry dough that has been rolled out into a 10-inch circle. Pinch the edges together to seal them.
  5. Poke holes in the top crust with a fork; bake in a pre-heated oven for about 45 minutes or until the top is nicely browned. Cool before releasing the sides of the form; cut into wedges to serve warm or at room temperature.
