Fry the pork on all sides for 5 minutes. Put salt and fresh milled pepper on it. Fry the onions and the garlic, add the spinach and stir fry for 5 minutes. Roll out the puff pastry to a rectangle, big enough to fit around the pork. Distribute the spinach over it and put the pork fillet in the middle. Mix the egg with 2 tablespoons water, fold the dough over the pork and glue the sides with the egg mixture. Brush the rest of the egg over the top. Bake 45 minutes at 180 degrees Celsius.
