Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

10 ounces fresh spinach

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 medium yellow onion -- finely chopped

2 garlic cloves -- minced

1/4 cup water

1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

1 pound chilled bread dough or pizza dough

prepared or homemade

2 ounces crumbled feta cheese -- up to 3 (1/2 cup)

 

Preheat the oven to 375F.

 

Rinse the spinach under cold running water and remove the stems. Pat the

spinach dry and coarsely chop the leaves.

 

In a medium saucepan, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the onion and

garlic and cook, stirring, for 2 to 3 minutes. Add the spinach, water, and

pepper and cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the spinach is

wilted, about 2 to 3 minutes. Remove pan from heat and let cool

slightly. Drain the excess liquid from pan. (If it cools enough, gently

squeeze the spinach like a sponge over a colander.)

 

On flat work surface, form the dough into 8 equal balls. Roll each ball

into a thin flat circle about 4 inches in diameter. Place 1 heaping

tablespoon of the spinach mixture and 1 teaspoon of feta cheese in the

center of each round. Fold the dough over the top and seal the edges with

the back of a fork, forming a crescent-shaped pocket. Place the pies on a

lightly greased baking sheet and bake until golden brown, about 11 to 13

minutes.

 

Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving.
