GREEK SPINACH PIE: SPANAKOPITA



Greek Spinach Pie: Spanakopita image

A classic and very well know Greek dish and a great vegetarian meal option. I use this same filling to make my small appetizer-sized spinach pies. It is also the same filling in my spinach quiche. It's juicy, fresh tasting and a definite crowd pleaser. It freezes perfectly so make an extra batch for those busy days. I love to eat this with tzatziki on the side or with a nice salad. However you make it, just give it a try.

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 pack phyllo pastry, at room temperature
1 pound baby spinach, chopped
2 bunches fresh dill, finely chopped or 3 heaping teaspoons dried dill
about 6 scallions, thinly sliced
15 ounces ricotta cheese, full fat and at room temperature
1 pound feta cheese, crumbled
3 eggs, beaten and at room temperature
about 2 cups olive oil, separated
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper, or to taste
Baking tray dimensions used for this recipe: 18" x 13" x 1"

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
  • Combine the chopped spinach, dill, scallions, ricotta, and feta cheese in a large bowl and using your very clean hands, mix very well. Knead it, crush it and keep mixing until everything is combined well.
  • Taste the mixture and add as much salt and pepper as you like.
  • Add the beaten eggs and about 1 cup of olive oil and mix well.
  • Rub some oil with your hands all over a half sheet baking pan.
  • Lay 3 sheets on the bottom of pan and drizzle with a little olive oil.
  • ​Place 2 sheets half in the pan and half hanging outside of the pan on all four sides of the ​pan. See the ​video above.
  • Spread all of the filling inside of the phyllo sheets. All of the sheets that are hanging outside of the pan should go over the filling. See video.
  • ​Drizzle some olive oil all over the phyllo. Cover half of the pie with 2 sheets of phyllo, tucking them under and repeat the same with the other side of the pie. This is demonstrated in the video tutorial.
  • Take the remaining phyllo sheets one at a time and crumble them in rows on top of the pie. Drizzling all the remaining olive oil on top of them. This will create a crisp, light crust.
  • ​Using a very sharp knife cut the pie into 12 equal slices.
  • ​Place in oven and immediately reduce the temperature to 350 degrees. Bake for 1 hour. The pie will be crisp and golden brown.
  • Allow to rest at room temperature for at least 20 minutes before serving. This will allow the filling to set.
  • ​Serve!

EASY GREEK SPINACH PIE FOR BEGINNERS (SPANAKOPITA)



Easy Greek Spinach pie for Beginners (Spanakopita) image

It doesn't matter if you haven't made a pie before. This amazing easy Greek spinach pie recipe (spanakopita) is made in only one hour from scratch!

Provided by Eli K. Giannopoulos

Categories     Sides

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 small red onions, halved and sliced
1 spring onion, finely chopped (optional)
2 cloves of garlic, crushed
500g spinach, washed and roughly chopped (18 ounces)
a pinch of grated nutmeg
200g feta cheese, crumbled (7 ounces)
2 eggs, beaten
1-2 tbsps fresh dill, chopped (optional)
1 pack of filo pastry (400g / 14 oz typically) or if you can find some Horiatiko phyllo from your local Greek Deli.
butter
salt and pepper to taste

Steps:

  • If you choose to prepare this Greek spinach pie recipe with commercial phyllo dough, it is important to thaw completely the phyllo dough by putting it in the fridge from the previous day. For the beginners at working with phyllo, check the handling tips before start making the spanakopita.
  • Heat the oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6.
  • To prepare this spinach pie recipe, sauté the onions in a large knob of butter until soft and turning golden. Add the garlic and cook for a couple of minutes. Add the spinach in batches and cook until wilted. Cool, then tip into a bowl (leaving behind any excess liquid from the spinach) and mix in the nutmeg, feta, eggs, spring onion and season. This will be the filling of the spanakopita.
  • For this spinach pie recipe you will need a non stick baking pan, about 20-22cm. Put the first sheet of filo in the pan and brush with butter, letting the excess hang over the sides. Keep going with the rest of the sheets, turning a little before adding each additional pastry sheet and brushing all over with butter. When all the pastry is used up, tip in the filling of the spanakopita and fold over the excess pastry to cover. If you like to prepare a larger pan of spanakopita for a big crowd, double the ingredients for the filling and use a 25*35 cm baking dish. Layer the 4-5 phyllo sheets to form the bottom of the spanakopita, tip in the filling and top with 4-5 more phyllo sheets.
  • Butter the top of the spinach pie with melted butter and scar with a sharp knife. Bake in preheated oven for about 30 minutes until the filo is crisp and golden.
  • Leave the spanakopita cool down for 10-15 minutes before cutting into pieces. Serve the spinach pie with Greek feta salad. Enjoy!

SPANAKOPITA (GREEK SPINACH PIE)



Spanakopita (Greek Spinach Pie) image

The secret to my spanakopita is 3 kinds of onion - red onion, spring onions and leek. If you are lacking one, just add more of the others, but this is the 'secret ingredient' to an excellent pie. Enjoy!

Provided by evelynathens

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 1h30m

Yield 15-18 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 lb country-style phyllo pastry (if you can't get that, regular phyllo pastry will do)
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil, approximately
1/4 cup olive oil
2 lbs spinach, cleaned, tough stems removed
6 spring onions, cleaned, sliced in 1/4 inch lengths
1 leek, white and tender part of green, cleaned, sliced in 1/4 inch lengths (if very large, slice leek in half lengthwise before slicing)
1 medium red onion, chopped fine
3/4 cup fresh dill, minced
1/2-3/4 lb feta cheese, crumbled (this is a matter of personal taste. I like my spanakopita 'sweeter' and therefore use the lesser amo)
3 eggs, beaten
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Heat 4 tablespoons of olive oil in a large saucepan and sauté the onions and leek until translucent, about 2-3 minutes. Add the spinach and saute until the leaves have wilted and the liquid has cooked off, about 8-10 minutes.
  • Remove the pan from the heat and allow to cool somewhat. When cool enough to handle, finely chop the spinach and place in a large bowl.
  • Preheat the oven to 375°F.
  • Lightly oil (always use olive oil!) a 12 inch in diameter, metal baking pan (you can use a larger baking pan - you will just have a thinner pita, but don't use a smaller one), or a 10 x 15 inch rectangular baking pan.
  • Add dill and feta cheese to the spinach. Add salt and pepper to taste (careful with the salt - the feta will add quite a bit of its own). Pour the eggs over and give a stir to combine well.
  • Open up the phyllo pastry and place on a work surface. If using the country style pastry proceed, if using the thinner phyllo; cover with a damp cloth. (Continue to cover the pastry sheets with the damp cloth each time you remove one as you prepare the pie.).
  • Layer the phyllo in the pan, allowing the edges to hang over the sides of the pan, brushing each phyllo layer generously with olive oil.
  • Use up half the phyllo sheets to make the bottom pastry layer, allowing excess pastry to drape over edge of pan.
  • Put the spinach mixture in and press the top down gently to smooth filling. Tuck in the pastry draping over the edges.
  • Repeat layering with the remaining phyllo, oiling each sheet generously.
  • Using a sharp knife, score the upper layers of pastry into the size pieces you will want to serve once the pie is baked- BE CAREFUL NOT TO CUT THROUGH BOTTOM PASTRY.
  • Bake the pie in the middle of the oven for approximately 40-45 minutes until it is golden brown. For the last 15-20 minutes, I put my baking pan directly on the oven floor to crisp it better.
  • Cool till just warm (we never, but never eat this hot! The flavours just wouldn't come through properly). Cut into serving pieces and serve either just warm or at room temperature.
  • Note: If my spinach filling appears to be too 'wet', I often take 2 of the phyllo sheets and use them as a 'layer' between the spinach filling; these sheets absorb the extra liquid (they must not be brushed with oil).
  • It's also worth noting that Greeks love their olive oil! I have used olive oil with a lighter hand than most Greeks in this recipe - but it may still be too much for you. Feel free to add the amount you feel most comfortable with, but be aware that flavour may be compromised.

SPANAKOPITA (GREEK SPINACH PIE)



Spanakopita (Greek Spinach Pie) image

Provided by Cat Cora

Categories     main-dish

Time 4h15m

Yield about 10 to 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
2/3 cup shortening, plus more for the baking pan
1/3 cup ice water
Dried beans, for pie weights
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus additional for greasing the baking pan
6 cups chopped onion (about 3 medium onions)
3/4 cup uncooked long-grain white rice
4 1/2 pounds fresh spinach (about 3 bunches), stemmed
2 1/4 teaspoons kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
3/4 cup finely chopped flat-leaf parsley
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh dill
3 scallions (white and green), chopped
1 1/2 cups crumbled feta
1 egg beaten with 1 teaspoon water, for egg wash

Steps:

  • In a food processor, pulse the flour and salt until combined. Add the shortening and pulse until the mixture resembles cornmeal mixed with pea-sized bits, about 10 times. While the motor is running, drizzle in the water until a dough forms.
  • Form the dough into a disk, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate until thoroughly chilled, at least 1 hour.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Grease a 9 by 13-inch baking pan. Divide the dough in half; press half the dough up and around the inside of the pan. Set the remaining dough aside covered with plastic wrap.
  • Line the pan with foil and fill with dried beans. Bake the dough for 20 minutes and remove the beans and foil. Continue baking the crust until golden brown, about 10 minutes more. Let the pan cool on a rack.
  • Meanwhile, make the spinach filling: Heat the oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the onions and cook, stirring, until lightly browned, about 6 minutes. Add the rice and cook, stirring occasionally, for 2 minutes. Add the spinach, little by little (adding more as the previous batch wilts), and cook, stirring, until completely wilted. Season with the salt and pepper and stir in the parsley, dill, and scallions.
  • Drain the spinach mixture in a colander in the sink and let cool.
  • Once the spinach is cool, stir in the feta and spread the mixture into the crust. Roll the remaining dough out on a well-floured surface, into a rectangle large enough to cover the baking pan. Top the spinach with the dough and pinch around the sides to seal. Score the top of the pie in the center, brush the surface of the dough with egg wash, and bake until golden brown, about 40 minutes.
  • Remove the pie from the oven, let cool, cut into squares and serve.

5 tbsps olive oil
1 tbsp red wine vinegar
1 tsp salt
130-150g water (1/2- 3/4 of a cup)

Steps:

  • To prepare this spanakopita recipe start by making the phyllo dough first. (For step by step instructions Homemade phyllo dough). Alternatively use commercial phyllo dough.
  • When done, heat the oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6.
  • To prepare the filling for this spanakopita recipe, sauté the onions in a large knob of butter until soft and turning golden. Add the garlic and cook for a couple of minutes.

LIGHTER SPANAKOPITA



Lighter spanakopita image

This traditional Greek spinach and feta cheese pie gets a healthier makeover - we've slashed the fat, salt and calories

Provided by Angela Nilsen

Categories     Dinner, Lunch, Main course, Supper

Time 1h35m

Number Of Ingredients 15

500g fresh spinach
3 tbsp rapeseed oil
1 shallot , finely chopped
6 spring onions , ends trimmed, finely chopped
2 garlic cloves , finely chopped
generous pinch of ground nutmeg
200g ricotta
1 large egg , beaten
2 tbsp chopped dill , plus 1 rounded tsp
2 tbsp snipped chives
2 tsp chopped mint
5 sheets filo pastry (each about 46 x 25cm and about 250g total weight)
100g feta
minted yogurt dip (see tip), to serve (optional)
tomato, cucumber & pepper salad (see tip), to serve (optional)

Steps:

  • Pack the spinach into a large heatproof bowl. Pour boiling water over and press the spinach down with a wooden spoon. Leave for 1 min to wilt, stirring a couple of times so all the leaves are submerged. Tip into a large colander and place under running cold water to cool quickly. Drain well - squeeze out any excess water by pressing the spinach down with the wooden spoon, then squeezing with your hands. Using kitchen paper, pat the spinach dry into a compact shape, lay it on a board and roughly chop, then set aside.
  • Heat 2 tsp of the oil in a large non-stick frying pan. Add the shallot, spring onions and garlic, and fry over a high-ish heat for 3-4 mins, stirring often, until softened and just starting to brown. Lower the heat, tip in the spinach and stir for 1 min only to finish drying. Season with pepper and a good pinch of nutmeg, and leave to cool.
  • Heat oven to 190C/170C fan/gas 5 and put a baking sheet in to heat up. In a bowl, stir the ricotta into the beaten egg and mix in the 2 tbsp dill, the chives and mint. Season with pepper and a pinch of salt.
  • Lightly oil a 20cm square x 4cm deep cake tin. Mix the remaining oil with the 1 rounded tsp dill. Lay the filo pastry sheets on a large board. Brush the top one with a little of the dill oil, then carefully lower it into the tin to line the base and 2 of the sides, with an overhang on both sides. The pastry doesn't have to fit in smoothly - a few wrinkles and folds in it are fine. Brush a bit more oil over the second pastry sheet and this time lay it down in the tin the other way round, so it drapes over and lines the base and the other 2 sides. The tin should now be completely covered, with a pastry overhang all round. Repeat the criss-cross layering with 2 more oiled filo sheets.
  • Stir the ricotta mixture into the spinach, then crumble in the feta. Lightly stir it in so you leave a few chunky pieces. Spoon this filling into the lined tin and level it. Bring the pastry sides up and over the filling, then brush a little oil over them. Brush the remainder of the oil over the last filo sheet on the board. Cut the sheet in half widthways and lay one half over at a time, in big folds, to cover the filling and give you a pastry topping.
  • Place the tin on the heated baking sheet and bake for 25-30 mins until the pastry is crisp and golden. Leave to cool for 10-15 mins. Remove the tin and transfer to a serving plate. If your tin doesn't have a loose bottom, carefully upturn it onto a flat board, then flip it over onto the serving plate. Serve warm or cold with minted yogurt dip and a tomato, cucumber & pepper salad (see below), if you like.

A delicious phyllo pie recipe made with spinach and feta cheese, spanakopita is a classic Greek favorite that can be an appetizer, side dish, or meal.

Provided by Lynn Livanos Athan

Categories     Appetizer     Side Dish     Lunch     Entree

Time 1h10m

Yield 16

Number Of Ingredients 16

For the Filling:
2 1/2 pounds fresh spinach (chopped, or frozen, thawed well)
3/4 cup olive oil (divided)
4 large onions (diced)
2 bunches green onions (diced, including 4 inches of the green part)
1/2 cup fresh parsley (chopped)
1/2 cup fresh dill (chopped, or 3 tablespoons dried dill)
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
Salt, to taste
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1/2 pound feta cheese (crumbled)
4 large eggs (lightly beaten)
1/2 pound ricotta cheese (or cottage cheese)
For the Phyllo
4 tablespoons butter (melted)
1 pound phyllo pastry sheets

Steps:

  • Gather the ingredients.
  • Wash and drain the chopped spinach very well. If using frozen spinach, thaw completely and squeeze out excess water. The spinach should be dry before you begin cooking.
  • Heat 1/2 cup of the olive oil in a deep sauté pan or large Dutch oven. Sauté the onions and green onions until tender.
  • Add the spinach, parsley, and dill , and cook for 5 to 10 minutes until the spinach is wilted and heated through.
  • Add the nutmeg and season with salt and pepper. The spinach mixture should be on the dry side; if using frozen spinach, you will want to cook it until any excess moisture evaporates. Remove from the heat and set the spinach mixture aside to cool.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the feta, eggs, and ricotta cheese.
  • Add the cooled spinach mixture and mix until combined.
  • Gather the ingredients.
  • Combine the melted butter with the olive oil in a bowl. Using a pastry brush, lightly grease 2 (9 x 12-inch) rectangular pans.
  • Carefully remove the phyllo roll from the plastic sleeve. Most packages come in 12 x 18-inch sheets when opened fully.
  • Using kitchen scissors or a sharp knife, cut the sheets in half to make 2 stacks of 9 x 12-inch sheets. To prevent drying, cover 1 stack with wax paper and a damp paper towel while working with the other.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 F. Layer about 10 sheets of phyllo on the bottom of each pan, making sure to brush each sheet with the butter-olive oil mixture before layering the next.
  • Add half of the spinach mixture to each pan in an even layer and press with a spatula to flatten.
  • Layer another 10 phyllo sheets on top of the spinach mixture in each pan, making sure to brush each sheet well with the butter-olive oil mixture.
  • Before baking, score the top layer of the phyllo (making sure not to puncture the filling) to enable easier cutting of pieces later. (You can place the pan in the freezer to harden the top layers and then use a serrated knife to make the cutting easier.)
  • Bake until the pie turns a deep golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes.
  • Let cool for a few minutes and then slice, serve, and enjoy.

Add scallions and saute until soft, about 2 to 3 minutes. Add the spinach to the scallions, along with the parsley, salt and pepper. Cook over low heat for 1 to 2 minutes, then remove from heat to cool. (This part can be done ahead and kept refrigerated).
  • Stir the feta and as much beaten egg to moisten the cooled spinach mixture.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Brush a baking sheet with some of the melted butter.
  • Unroll the filo dough on a flat surface and keep it covered with waxed paper and a damp towel so it doesn't dry out and become brittle. Using a sharp knife, cut the filo into 3 by 11 inch strips, and recover with the towel. Use a pastry brush to brush a strip of filo with melted butter. Place a small spoonful of spinach filling 1 inch from the end of the pastry. Fold the end over the filling to form a triangle, then continue to fold up the strip in triangles, like folding up a flag. Continue with remaining strips of dough, placing filled triangles on the baking sheet and keeping them covered with a towel until all are ready to bake.
  • Brush the triangles lightly with butter, then bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until golden and crisp. Serve hot. (These may be frozen before baking, layering waxed paper between layers of triangles to keep them from sticking. Bake frozen triangles an extra 10 minutes.)

GREEK SPINACH PIE-SPANAKOPITA



Greek Spinach Pie-Spanakopita image

Classic Greek spinach pie has a homemade crust, spinach, feta, and lots of herbs for the filling.

Provided by by Jenny | The Greek Foodie

Categories     Appetizer     Main

Number Of Ingredients 13

8 cups all purpose flour
2 cups water (warm)
¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
1 tsp sea salt
3 lbs spinach (frozen)
5 scallions chopped
10-15 mint leaves (roughly chopped)
1/2 bunch fresh dill (roughly chopped)
3 eggs
2 lbs greek feta crumbled
1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil (total)
sea salt
freshly ground pepper

Steps:

  • Thaw the spinach.Place a large pan over medium heat. Add 2 tbsp olive oil. Add the scallions and sauté until they soften. Add the spinach. Sauté until it softens a little, 1-2 minutes. Add another tbsp of olive oil if you feel it is needed. Remove spinach to a colander to drain the liquids.
  • Preheat oven to 375 F.Combine the flour, olive oil, and a pinch or two of salt. Gradually add warm water to the flour, about 2 cups. Mix dough well, cover with a damp kitchen towel, and let it rest while you finish making the filling.
  • Transfer spinach to a bowl. Add the mint, dill, dry oregano, and cheese. Add the eggs-season with sea salt and pepper to taste.
  • Mix everything well -I like using my hands- but don't overwork the mixture
  • Divide the dough to four pieces, 2 a little bigger than the other two since you are going to use them to cover the sides and bottom of your pan.Oil the bottom and sides of your pan with olive oil.Roll out the two larger pieces of dough into a size about 2 inches larger than your pan. Cover the pieces you are not using with a damp towel, so they don't dry out.
  • Place one of the dough sheets to the bottom of the pan, press gently to cover all the sides. Brush a little olive oil. Add the other piece. Brush a little olive oil all over.
  • Add the filling evenly all over.
  • Roll out the rest of the dough into two pieces, a size similar to your pan. Cover the filling with one piece. Brush olive oil all over. Add the other piece on top. Press gently to cover everything and the sides of the pan that are exposed. With pair of scissors trim the dough to the edge of the pan. Roll the extra dough back in to create a trim for your pie.Brush some olive oil all over. Score gently with a sharp knife.
  • Bake in the middle rack of your oven for 50-60 min or until it's golden on top.

SPANAKOPITA (GREEK SPINACH AND FETA PIE)



Spanakopita (Greek Spinach and Feta Pie) image

You can make this recipe with fresh spinach or three boxes of frozen chopped spinach; fresh spinach will have a better flavor and texture, but it takes much longer to wash and stem. Baby spinach works very well and requires less work, if you don't mind paying the extra price.

Provided by Abby Falck

Categories     Savory Pies

Time 1h

Yield 8-12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 1/2-2 lbs spinach leaves
1/2 cup flat leaf parsley, chopped
1/2 cup dill, chopped
2 cups scallions, chopped
1 1/2 teaspoons coarsely ground sea salt or 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
2 tablespoons light olive oil
3 cups yellow onions, chopped
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 lb feta cheese, crumbled
14 sheets phyllo pastry sheets
1/2 cup butter, melted or 1/2 cup cooking spray

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375º F.
  • (For fresh spinach) Working in batches, wash and drain the spinach. Discard any large stems and chop the leaves coarsely. Combine the spinach, parsley, dill, green onions and salt. Let stand in a colander for 15 minutes and then press out the liquid. (For frozen spinach) Thaw the spinach and squeeze out most of the water, leaving just a little to prevent it drying out in the oven. Combine with the parsley, dill, green onions and salt.
  • Heat the olive oil in a deep skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering, then add the onions and saute until transparent.
  • Adjust the heat to medium, add the spinach mixture in batches and saute until the spinach and herbs are wilted.
  • Turn off the heat and stir the feta and black pepper into the mixture.
  • Butter a 10"x17"x2" baking pan and lay 8 filo sheets in the bottom, brushing each layer with butter or spraying it with oil.
  • Spread the spinach mixture into the baking pan.
  • Cover with the remaining filo sheets, brushing each layer with butter or spraying it with oil.
  • Bake until the top is golden brown, about 30 minutes.

SPANAKOPITA (GREEK SPINACH AND FETA PIE)



Spanakopita (Greek Spinach And Feta Pie) image

Provided by Feta Topalu

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 cloves garlic
8 oz feta cheese block
1/2 cup packed fresh basil, set aside 4-5 leaves
1/2 cup packed fresh parsley, set aside 4-5 leaves
8-10 oz bag of fresh spinach
1/3 cup shredded parmesan
1 tsp salt
16 oz package of phyllo dough - defrost 15 sheets (half of package)
1/3 cup olive oil

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. In a food processor, place garlic, feta, basil, and parsley. You may add in any additional herbs to the food processor at this point to boost flavor. Pulse until mixture is blended well. Transfer to medium sized bowl. Add spinach, parmesan, and salt to same bowl. Mix until well combined. Set aside.
  • Unroll phyllo dough. Lay first sheet of phyllo dough on a flat surface then gently brush with olive oil. Lay the next piece of phyllo right on top. Brush again with olive oil. Repeat with three more layers until you have a total of five layers. Try to work quickly during this part, the phyllo dough is sensitive to room temperature and is prone to drying out.
  • Spread 1/3 of spinach and feta filling all across the phyllo. Avoid spreading the filling 1/2 an inch from edges to prevent extra filling from spilling out. Roll the dough up into a long log starting from bottom. Make sure you don't roll it too tightly, otherwise, it will crack at this next step. Very carefully roll dough into a spiral wheel, then transfer it to a round baking dish or oven-proof skillet. Repeat this process with the remaining sheets of phyllo.
  • Brush the top with olive oil and bake for 45 minutes. While spanakopita is baking, mix 2 tbsp of olive oil, remaining basil, and parsley. Remove spanakopita 5 minutes before finished baking and brush the top with herbed olive oil. Bake fore 5-10 more minutes until golden and crisp. Remove from oven and let cool 5 minutes before serving. Serve it as is or with Chimichurri sauce for dipping.

Yield Serves 8

Number Of Ingredients 0

Steps:

  • Trim the roots from the English spinach, or if using silverbeet, remove leaves from tough stems. Wash leaves and drain well. Coarsely shred the leaves and tender stalks of the spinach and set aside.
  • Place the feta in a large bowl and coarsely mash with a fork. Add the ricotta, kefalograviera, eggs, breadcrumbs, nutmeg, pepper and oil. Mix with the fork to combine. Add the spinach and set aside while preparing the pastry case.
  • Preheat oven to 180?C.=2 0Lightly grease a 20cm x 30cm x 5cm deep baking dish.
  • Lay the filo out on a bench. Cover with a dry tea towel then a damp one to keep it from drying out. Line dish with a sheet of filo and butter the filo. Top with another sheet of filo and butter and continue until about half the sheets of filo are used.
  • Using your hand or a large metal spoon, gently mix the spinach filling until thoroughly combined. Pour into the prepared pastry base and spread evenly. Top with remaining filo, buttering each sheet, ensuring the final sheet is well buttered. Trim any overhanging pastry and tuck in the sides.
  • Use a sharp knife to mark pastry top into diamonds, allowing the knife to pierce the pastry once or twice to allow air to escape during baking. Sprinkle lightly with water and bake in preheated oven for 45 minutes to 1 hour or until well browned and set. Gently shake the pan and the spanakopita will slide easily when cooked. Cover with foil if over browning. Cool on rack for 15 minutes before cutting to serve.

SPANAKOPITA RECIPE (GREEK SPINACH PIE)



Spanakopita Recipe (Greek Spinach Pie) image

Spanakopita is one of Greece's most beloved dishes. It's a savory mixture of spinach, cheese, and herbs all baked into a flaky phyllo crust. Spanakopita is surprisingly easy to make. Follow these instructions for my streamlined but doubly delicious method.

Provided by Christina Xenos

Categories     Appetizer

Time 1h45m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 lbs fresh or frozen spinach
3 bunches scallions (about 6 oz), chopped
3/4-lb (12 oz.) Feta cheese, (or up to 1 pound if you love Feta)
1-2 cups shredded Kefalotiri, or another shredded hard salty cheese like Pecorino Romano
1 cup fresh herbs (dill, mint and flat leaf parsley), chopped
2 eggs
1 1-lb box Phyllo dough
1 to 1-1/2 sticks butter or 1 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil, for brushing phyllo
2 teaspoons black pepper

Steps:

  • Make the Filling:
  • For Fresh spinach: In a large pan, wilt the spinach - you will likely have to work in batches - for about 4 minutes. Pour into a colander or, better yet, a salad spinner to drain any excess water. Roughly chop.
  • If using frozen spinach, defrost spinach and squeeze out all excess moisture in a colander. Using a kitchen cloth or a cheese cloth helps.
  • Chop the scallions and herbs.
  • Transfer spinach, scallions, herbs to a large bowl.
  • Add the both the cheeses, black pepper, and eggs.
  • Mix well (I like to use my hands). Set aside the filling.
  • Phyllo Crust/Assembling the pie:
  • Preheat oven to 375ºF convection (if you have it).
  • Melt 1 stick of butter in a pan or in the microwave. If using olive oil, pour out at least 1 cup in a bowl (you may need up to another 1/2 cup).
  • Make sure the box of phyllo is at room temperature. When you're ready to use it (not before or it will dry out), unwrap it so it is in one rectangular pile.
  • I like to trim my phyllo before assembling the spanakopita, so one rectangle easily fits into my baking pan with no overhang. **See note on phyllo.
  • Dip your pastry brush in the melted butter or extra virgin and brush a 9" x 13" baking pan with butter or olive oil.
  • Pick up one leaf of phyllo and lay it in the pan. Lightly brush phyllo with oil/butter. Repeat layering the phyllo buttering each individual leaf. Layer about half of the leaves(** see note) in your package on the bottom.
  • Dampen a kitchen towel and lay it on top of the unused phyllo. This keeps them from drying out.
  • Pour the filling on top of the phyllo leaves in the pan. Evenly distribute it across the pan.
  • Start making your top crust by adding a leaf of phyllo, brushing it with butter or olive oil it and adding another on top. Repeat the process for the rest of the leaves.
  • Make sure to butter/oil your top piece of phyllo.
  • Score the pie with your knife. You should be able to divide the pie evenly into 12 square pieces.
  • Bake pie until top is brown, and phyllo layers are visible (like in the photo) about 45 minutes, to an hour. Start checking for color after 30 minutes.
