Method

1. Preheat the oven to 220C/200C Fan/Gas 7. Grease the sides of a 20cm/8in loose-bottomed cake tin and place the ring on a baking tray (no need to use the base of the tin).

2. Melt the knob of butter in a saucepan over a high heat. Add the leek and fry for a few minutes, then cover with a lid, lower the heat and cook for about 10 minutes, or until softened. Increase the heat, add the garlic and spinach and fry for a few minutes, until the spinach has wilted. Tip all of the vegetables into a bowl to cool.

3. Remove the sausage meat from their skins and place in the bowl with the cooled vegetables. Season with pepper and mix using your hands.

4. Brush the sheets of filo with the melted butter and stick them together, end to end in two layers, to make a long rectangle measuring about 25x90cm/10x36in. Shape the sausage mixture into a long sausage, the same length as the filo rectangle. Place the sausage along one long edge of the pastry and roll, brushing with butter in between each roll. You should end up with a long sausage encased in filo. Bend the filo roll into the ring to make a swirl. Brush the top with more butter and sprinkle with the sesame seeds. Place on the baking tray and bake for 40–45 minutes, until golden and crisp. Remove the ring and cut into wedges to serve.
