    Ingredients:
    7-10 Phyllo (fillo) sheets, at room temperature
    1/3-1/2 cup (80-120ml) Olive oil
    2 pounds (900g) Spinach
    1 Large onion, chopped
    2-3 Spring onions, chopped
    1/4 bunch Parsley, chopped
    1/4 bunch Dill, chopped
    12oz (340g) Feta cheese
    12oz (340g) Ricotta cheese
    Salt to taste
    Pepper to taste
    1/4 teaspoon Nutmeg
    1 teaspoon Dried oregano
    Lemon zest from one lemon
    Directions:
    1. Preheat oven to 350F (180C).
    2. Make the filling: in a large pan, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Add chopped onion and sauté over medium heat until golden, add spinach and cook for 5-7 minutes, until the spinach is wilted.
    3. Drain excess liquids and transfer to a large bowl. Crumble the feta cheese and ricotta cheese into the bowl, then add chopped spring onions, parsley, dill, lemon zest and spices. Mix until well combined and set aside.
    4. Assembly: brush the bottom of a 9X13 inch (22X33cm) rectangle pan or 11-inch (28cm) round pan with olive oil. Take a sheet of pastry and place in the baking dish, that way so that some of the pastry hangs over the side. Brush with olive oil. Add 2-3 more sheets in the same manner, and brush them with olive oil between every layer.
    5. Evenly spread the spinach and feta filling over the phyllo crust. Then, cover with 3 layers of phyllo, brushing with olive oil in between the layers. Fold the flaps or excess from the sides and brush the top layers with olive oil.
    6. Using a very sharp knife cut the pie into rectangles or any other shape.
    7. Bake for 40-45 minutes or until golden brown.
    8. Allow to cool for 15 minutes before serving. Serve with fresh Greek salad: • Greek Salad Recipe | H...

    I am Greek and have to say this looks like a really good recipe for spanakopita! My mom adds 1 egg in the filling as well and doesn't add the parsley, instead uses mint which combines great with dill and spinach.

    In Serbia we also have spinach pie but it is originally made with hand made dough and it is made only from spinach, salt, feta cheese, eggs and pig fat. And it is eaten on its own. It is delicious and one of my favorite dishes.

    As a Greek I would like to add a few tips for anyone making spanakopita. It is truly not necessary to saute your scallions or leeks and spinach before hand. I promise you will not see a difference and save time. Please add your feta before you add your salt. Ricotta is a nice addition perhaps but not an original ingredient in spinach pie. Once you score it before baking and adding some oil on top, sprinkle water over the phyllo. It will help keep it compact and prevent it from popping up. Enjoy.

    • @No1Crispin
      @No1Crispin 2 роки тому +1

      Wouldn't the moisture in the spinach ruin the flaky crust of the film if you don't pre-cook it and strain it?

    • @marykoufalis7666
      @marykoufalis7666 2 роки тому

      @@No1Crispin Not if its fresh. If frozen then yes you need to thaw and squeeze out the liquid. Personally, I always pre cook the filling. It was necessary to let people know that many do not. I always oil my pan a bit and sprinkle a very light dusting of bread crumbs to absorb any liquid I may have missed.

    That's a version of the Greek spanakopita. Greeks, who live in Greece, don't put parsley, nutmeg, oregano, lemon zest and onion. We only use spring onions, leeks,dill, nettles and a variety of other leaf vegetables.That's all. We usually eat spanakopita with greek yogurt not with salad.
