Who doesn't love pies? I think everyone enjoys them. Spanakopita is perhaps the most delicious one. My mom always made different pies depending on the season, always with her own homemade phyllo dough. That's how I learned, and over the years, I made changes, tweaked her recipes, and created my own. But she taught me the basics and made me love cooking.

Ingredients

1 hour prep, 1 hour baking
About 25 medium pieces
  1. 1 packagecountry-style phyllo dough
  2. For the filling:
  3. 2.2 lbsspinach (1 kg)
  4. 1large onion
  5. 2-3green onions
  6. 1 bunchdill
  7. 4 tablespoonsmedium-grain rice
  8. 1little olive oil
  9. Mint
  10. Salt and pepper
  11. Feta cheese
  12. Extra olive oil for brushing the phyllo

Cooking Instructions

1 hour prep, 1 hour baking
  1. 1

    Clean and wash the spinach, then roughly chop it. Finely chop the onion, green onions, and dill. Add the rice, salt, pepper, mint, and olive oil. Mix everything well.

  2. 2

    Remove the phyllo dough from the freezer at least two hours ahead and open the package. Brush a rectangular baking pan (smaller than the phyllo sheets) with olive oil. The package usually contains six sheets. Lay one sheet in the pan and brush with olive oil. Add a second sheet, brush with oil, then add a third sheet without brushing with oil.

  3. 3

    Spread the filling evenly over the phyllo. Crumble as much feta cheese as you like over the top. Fold any overhanging phyllo edges inward. Place the remaining sheets on top, brushing each with olive oil. If there is a lot of excess phyllo hanging over, trim it. Tuck in the edges and cut the pie into slices.

  4. 4

    Bake in a preheated oven at 340°F (170°C) with the fan on for about 1 hour. Let it cool slightly before serving and enjoy!

Κρανίδι
Είμαι η Λεμονιά, σύζυγος, μητέρα δύο παιδιών και γιαγιά. Η κουζίνα είναι το αγαπημένο σημείο του σπιτιού, όπου περνώ αρκετές ώρες μαγειρεύοντας. Πειραματιζομαι με νέες συνταγές και γεύσεις και κάνω και τις δικές μου παρεμβάσεις. Το κύριο συστατικό των συνταγών μου είναι το ελαιόλαδο μια και ο τόπος μου, το Κρανίδι, είναι μια περιοχή με άφθονο και καλό ελαιόλαδο. Χαίρομαι πολύ που ανήκω σε αυτή την μεγάλη μαγειρική παρέα 🍜🍳🍝
