Smoked pork with spinach in puff pastry

Pre-cook the smoked pork loin in a roasting bag in the oven (160°C) for 45 minutes or fry it in a pan. Defrost the spinach leaves and fry with the onions, seasoning to taste (e.g. with tarragon). Finely dice the feta cheese and add it to the spinach along with the chopped garlic. Mix to combine, let it sit and let it cool. Expand or roll out the puff pastry and brush the inside with egg yolk and cover with the spinach mixture. Place the smoked pork loin on top and wrap it in the remaining spinach. Wrap everything in the puff pastry. Brush the seams and the surface with egg yolk. Bake in the oven for 60 minutes, depending on the oven. (Steam oven: CircoSteam/Neff 180°C = 1 kg 45-60 mins.) A cold yogurt/quark/cream/cream cheese sauce goes wonderfully with this.
