Method
- Heat the oven to 200°C/ 180°C fan/gas 6. Heat a small glug of oil in a large frying pan over a medium heat. Fry the pork for 3-4 minutes, stirring, until just browned. Transfer to a plate; set aside.
- Fry the onion in the same pan for 6-7 minutes until starting to soften. Add the mushrooms and fry for 5-6 minutes. Take off the heat, then stir in the flour. Return to the heat and stir for 2 minutes more.
- Put the spinach in a large colander in the sink, then pour over a full kettle of boiling water to wilt it. Press out the liquid with the back of a spoon. Add the spinach to the mushroom mixture along with the pork, stock, sage and yogurt. Season well, stir, then divide among the pie dishes.
- Scrunch up the filo sheets and fit one in each pie dish as a lid. Brush with oil, then bake for 20 minutes or until golden (cover loosely with foil if the pies brown too quickly).

Garlic would work well in the filling; add 2 crushed cloves with the onions.
Make the filling a few hours in advance and keep chilled. Top with the filo just before baking.
