Spinach Pies (Middle East, Palestine) - cooking recipe
Ingredients
-
2 lbs spinach
2 large onions, chopped
2 lemons, juice of
3/4 cup oil
1/2 teaspoon sumac
salt and pepper
Preparation
-
Wash spinach, chop, and sprinkle with salt. Let stand for 15 minutes, then squeeze out the excess water.
Mix with all the ingredients and set aside.
Using the basic dough recipe that I have posted, take the 2 1/2\" balls of dough and roll out to 4\" circles (more like squares with rounded edges).
Put a heaping tablespoon of spinach filling on each circle.
Fold up from the bottom to the middle, and bring in sides to center to form triangle. (If you put one corner in front of you, then you would fold down the top corner, and bring in the sides, and you should have a triangle).
Press down seams firmly and pinch ends together.
Grease pan and place pies on the pan (seams down) and brush the tops with olive oil.
Bake in a preheated 400\u00b0F oven until pies are golden brown. (I have a older gas stove, and had to turn my oven to about 325\u00b0F in order for the top and bottom to cook evenly, so adjust the temperature according to your oven).
