Spinach Pie With Cheese

[Guest guest]

Note: Organic ingredients are recommended...

 

INGREDIENTS:

2 lbs. spinach

1 large brown egg

1/3 cup ricotta cheese (reduced fat or no fat if desired)

1/3 cup mozzarella cheese (reduced fat or no fat if desired)

1/3 cup cheddar cheese (reduced fat or no fat if desired)

1 bunch green onion

1/2 bunch parsley; finely chopped

2-3 cloves garlic; grind

dash dill

dash ground black pepper

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

For the dough:

1 cup water

Vinegar few drops

1/2 teaspoon salt

2 cups all purpose soft flour

1 cup self rising flour

1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil

METHODS for the Dough:

In a bowl add the water, drops of vinegar and the olive oil.

Add 1 teaspoon salt and the flour (1/2 cup at a time).

Work the mixture well as much as it needs to become tight.

If it requires more water and flour add in order for the dough to become as

thick as it needs.

Cover the dough with plastic wrap and leave it for half an hour before it is

used.

METHODS for the Pie:

Wash the spinach very carefully using plenty of water to remove soil and chop it

in very small pieces.

Remove its liquid/water, place it into a large bowl, set aside.

Add 2 tablespoon olive oil on a flat pan in medium heat,

pour in the spinach, green onion, pepper, dill, garlic, parsley.

Cook the mixture well with a wooden spoon in order to unify all ingredients,

about 10 minutes until all vegetable are tender.

Beat egg and add in the mixture, then add cheese.

Oil a baking pan.

Alternatively separate the dough into 4 balls.

Flatten each ball with a thin rolling pin on a floured pastry board

and roll out 4 phyllo sheets,

two for the bottom and two for the top.

If you do so you should roll out each phyllo and make it very thin.

Tip: When pie is ready to be baked wet your hands and sprinkle water over the

top filo, in order to make it more crusty.

Place the first sheet in the baking pan and oil it.

Spread the mixture on top of the first sheet and then place the second sheet.

Spread more mixture on the second sheet then thrid sheet and top sheet.

Slightly oil it and slice off any parts of the sheets that have remained.

Score the top sheet with a knife into squares or use a cookie animal cutter to

create your own style pie. Brush egg wash (1/2 egg + 1 tablespoon water) before

putting it in the oven.

Bake for an hour in 350F.
