Spanakopita

     

       Ingredients

      1/3 cup olive oil

      2 lbs of fresh spinach, washed and drained and chopped

      1 bunch of green onions

      1/4 cup chopped, fresh parsley

      1.4 cup chopped, fresh dill

      1/2 lb. feta, crumbled

      2 eggs

      1 cup unsalted butter

      1 pkg. frozen phyllo dough (found in pastry freezer section of store),
       thawed overnight in frig

Heat 1/2 of olive oil in a large skillet.  Add 1/2 fresh spinach and cook for 2-3 minutes until wilted.  Do the same with the remaining spinach.

Add chopped green onions (white and green parts) to skillet along with parsley and dill.  Cook for a couple of minutes. Cool mixture.

Add cooled onion mixture to spinach with 2 eggs and mix well.  Fold in the feta cheese.

Melt the butter in a small saucepan.  Generously butter a jelly roll pan.

Unwrap the phyllo (pronounced feelo) and take three sheets out and put on your work surface.  Cover the remaining phyllo with a damp towel or paper towel (it dries out very quickly).

Cut the three sheets of stacked phyllo into three equal portions lengthwise. (a pizza cutter is good for this)

Take a couple tablespoons of your spinach mixture and put it at the bottom of one of the three sheets.  Then start rolling the sheet up in a triangle shape (like you fold a flag).

When you have a neat little triangle, brush the top surface with some of the melted butter and place on your jelly roll pan.  Continue wrapping triangles until all your mixture is used.

Bake in pre-heated 350 degree oven for 20-25 minutes until golden.
Serve hot or at room temperature.

This sounds so delicious and definitely one I need to try.

Happy Easter to everyone from the Celebration Times team!
