Amount Ingredient
3/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 x fennel bulb trimmed, and
finely chopped
1 med scallion bunch, white and most of greens thinly sliced
(about 1 cup)
1 tbl coarsely-chopped garlic
1/2 cup thinly-sliced wild greens see * Note
1 tsp toasted fennel seeds freshly ground or
crushed in a mortar
Freshly-ground black pepper to taste
1/4 cup chopped fresh mint
1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
1/2 cup unsalted butter - (1 stick)
8 x phyllo sheets
Instructions:
Instructions: * Note: Use greens such as baby spinach, tender Swiss chard leaves, mustard greens, miners lettuce, dandelion greens, orache, outer leaves of escarole or romaine lettuce, and/or beet greens.

In a large skillet, heat 1/4 cup olive oil over medium heat. Add fennel bulb; cook, stirring occasionally, until just tender, about 3 minutes. Add scallions and chopped garlic, and cook for 2 minutes. Add greens, and cook, stirring, until wilted, 2 to 3 minutes.

Remove from heat, and season with fennel seeds and pepper to taste. Stir in mint. Transfer to a bowl until cooled completely. Crumble feta cheese over cooled greens; stir to combine. Taste and adjust seasoning. This should yield 2 cups.

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line a baking sheet with a rack. Spray rack with cooking spray. In a small saucepan, melt together remaining 1/2 cup oil and the butter over medium heat.

Lay one sheet of phyllo on a clean work surface with the long side parallel to the edge of the counter. Brush liberally with butter-oil mixture. Top with a second sheet of phyllo. Brush second sheet with butter-oil mixture. Cut in half crosswise. Place about 1/4 cup filling at one end of each half. Fold in sides, and roll up to form an eggroll shape. Brush with butter-oil mixture, and prick in several spots with a toothpick or the tip of a paring knife. Transfer to prepared baking sheet. Repeat with remaining phyllo and filling.

Bake until golden brown and filling is heated through, 20 to 25 minutes. Cool briefly before cutting in half on the diagonal. Serve immediately.

This recipe yields 8 servings.
