Recipe for Spanakopita (Spinach-Pie) :
|
Ingredients:
- 1 pound of Feta cheese
- 1 pound of spinach
- 1 pack of Filo. These are thin sheets you should be
able to find at a large Greek store. Krinos Fila are very
good.
- 10 eggs
- 8 fresh green onions
- 3 small portions of dill
- olive oil
|
Preperation:
Break the 10 eggs and place them into a bowl. Mix the
eggs together. Take the Feta cheese and grate it, placing
into the bowl with mixed eggs. Mix the eggs and the Feta
cheese together. Grate the green onions and the spinach
into a separate bowl. Slice the dill into very small
portions and place into the bowl with the spinach. Place 25ml of
olive oil into the spinach bowl. Now place the contents of
both bowls together and mix thoroughly.
Line the bottom of a baking pan with olive oil.
Procedure: Place 2 sheets of Filo covering all
the baking pan. Place some olive oil all over the Fila.
Place another Filo on top of these Fila covering them. Take a
spoon and use it to take from the bowl portions
of the mixture placing it all over the Fila.
Repeat the procedure until you run out of Fila. Make
sure you leave one spoon of the egg, cheese, and spinach mixture in the
mixing bowl. Make sure all the mixture is used.
All that should be left in the bowl is the juice of the
spinach mixture. Take
the bowl and pour all its' contents on top of the last filo,
covering it.
Place in the oven at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 20 minutes.
Serves 6-8 servings.
