How To make Spanakopitas
Karen Mintzias
FILLING:
2 tb Butter or oil
1 lb Frozen spinach; thawed
3 Green onions; sliced
3 tb Minced parsley
2 tb Chopped fresh dill
1/2 lb Feta cheese; crumbled
3 Eggs; lightly beaten
Salt & Pepper to taste PAStrY:
1 lb Commercial Filo pastry
1/2 lb Melted butter
In butter or oil, saute green onion until soft. Meanwhile, squeeze out excess moisture from spinach and chop by hand or in food processor. Combine green onion with spinach and remaining filling ingredients in bowl. Mix well and set aside. Lay out the Filo sheets, covering them with waxed paper and a damp towel. Take out two sheets at a time and keep the rest covered. Brush melted butter onto top sheet of each pair. Cut each double-sheet crosswise into equal strips, about 2-1/2" wide. Place 1 teaspoon of the filling 1" from the end (nearest you) of each strip. Fold the strips back over the filling so the bottom edge meets the left edge, forming a right angle. Continue folding back at right angles to make a triangular shape. Place on baking sheets and keep covered until all are ready to bake. Bake in a 350 degree oven for 20 to 25 minutes or until golden and crisp, turning once. NOTE- Spanakopitas may be frozen before baking. When ready to bake, separate while still frozen, spead on baking sheets, and bake as above, allowing an extra 10 minutes baking time. Source: The Food of Greece by Vilma Liacouras Chantiles.

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:
