Spanakopita with Homemade Phyllo Dough!

Cooking Instructions
- 1
In a bowl, combine the flour, sugar, salt, olive oil, and vinegar. Start kneading without adding the water at first, just to mix the ingredients. Gradually add the water until the dough comes together and becomes smooth and pliable. If needed, add a little more water. If the dough sticks to your hands, sprinkle a little flour on your hands until it comes off. Let the dough rest on your counter while you prepare the filling.

If you don't know how to roll out phyllo dough, you can use store-bought country-style phyllo dough for pies, which works just as well.

For the filling: In a pot, add enough olive oil to cover the bottom. Once it starts to heat up, add the green onions, leek, dill, parsley, garlic, bouillon cubes, and black pepper. Cook until the vegetables soften. Wash and squeeze the spinach very well to remove excess water, then gradually add it to the pot, stirring constantly, until it wilts. Once ready, remove from heat.

Add the eggs one at a time, mixing them into the filling. Crumble the feta cheese into the mixture with your hands, then add the tablespoon of rice to absorb any extra moisture.

Next, start rolling out the dough on your table or a smooth surface dusted with flour. Cut about half of the dough and use a rolling pin to roll it out to the size of your baking pan. Brush the pan with olive oil, place the rolled-out dough in the pan, brush it with olive oil, and add the filling. Roll out the second half of the dough the same way and place it over the filling, making sure it covers the edges all around.

Seal the edges of the two layers of dough together so the filling doesn't leak out while baking. Brush the top with olive oil and lightly score the surface. Bake at 350°F (180°C) until golden brown and the phyllo is crisp!

Hi Everyone!! I wanted to share with you this Spinach Pie recipe that my mom gave me many moons ago. I remember it was hard to find Greek products in our area, so once a month we had a day trip to Astoria. Wow!!! that was a long time ago, anyway we would go to this little Greek Deli Store to buy what she needed for the month. She always had a list ready, (and she still does today) with the usual products. Feta, Coffee, Olives, Oil, classic right! I know!! :0Till this day, whenever I go back to Greece to visit my mom, we go to Athens City Center into the old market area…have a cup of coffee, catch up on things, and then go shopping. In Athens the old Deli’s stores still exist with the cheeses, and spices in huge barrels, sausages, you can even find a huge variety of peanuts, I can go on and on but there are just too many products to write down.So, now for the recipe….:) Hope you enjoy making it!!!

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 .

Chicken baked with Phyllo & Feta Cheese (Kotopita) Chicken baked with Phyllo & Feta Cheese (Kotopita)
Happy Valentine’s Day Everyone!!! 🙂 Wishing everyone a lovely and loving day!!!So, the weather has been good to us here, we have been having much sun but with low temperatures so this is great for taking long walks with Charlie and just enjoying the outdoors.When we returned from our morning walk, I had all the ingredients ready for this recipe on the counter. If you have gone on vacation to Greece, I am sure some have tried the Chicken Pie, if not well here is a recipe that is put together very quickly. The pie I made this morning has fewer ingredients than usual, reason being is that my hubby has an ulcer so, leek and onions are out of the question so I came up with this version..I hope you enjoy it!!
