From the first time I tried the triangular pastry known as spanakopita, I knew I was hooked. In the city of Duluth Minnesota, on the rocky shores of Lake Superior, there was a Greek restaurant called Natchitos. Tucked in a commercial basement location, the atmosphere, the food, the wine--and the belly dancers!--were a divine inspiration for a young aspiring foodie!
Although the source of my inspiration is a restaurant which no longer exists, I pay homage to Natchitos and Spanakopita with this easy-to-prepare, non filo-dough recipe .
