Chorizo Poppers

8 ounces fresh spinach
1/4 cup butter, melted
3 ounces merguez or chorizo sausage cut into 1/4 inch cubes
1/3 cup ricotta cheese
salt and freshly ground black pepper
5 ounces phyllo pastry, cut into 3 inch squares

Cook spinach in a covered pan until leaves wilt. Drain well and squeeze out as much water as possible. Coarsely chop and leave to cool.

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Butter a baking sheet with a little butter. Fry merguez or chorizo without any fat until lightly browned. Drain on paper towels and set aside to cool. In a bowl, mix together spinach, merguez or chorizo, and ricotta cheese. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Stack phyllo squares in pairs, buttering each square. Put a little spinach mixture in the center of each stack, roll up and pinch pastry ends to resemble Christmas crackers or poppers. Place on the baking sheet. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes until crisp and golden. Serve warm.
Yields about 24 hors d'ouerves.
