Notes
When I developed this recipe in 2014, I used garlic and herb seasoned feta, but I often can't find it anymore. I have remade this recipe using plain feta + 1/2 teaspoon salt-free garlic and herb seasoning blend, and the taste is the same.
It is important to drain the artichokes, roasted red bell pepper, and olives well. Also squeeze as much water as possible from the spinach. This is to prevent the filling from being too wet.
