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.
