Drain well in a colander, pressing occasionally with a spoon. Gently fry the onion in extra virgin olive oil for 10 min, add in minced leek and spring onions and fry gently for further 5 min till transparent. Place well-liquid removed spinach in a mixing bowl and add in oil and onion mix, herbs and nutmeg. Blend thoroughly, adding salt and pepper to taste. Place a sheet of fillo pastry on work surface and brush lightly with extra virgin olive oil. Top with 3 more sheets of pastry, brushing each with oil. Brush top layer lightly with oil and place half the spinach mix along the length of the pastry towards one edge and leaving 4 cm
