Good morning my friends, and happy weekend, after yesterday spinach with rice I got a lot of spinach left so I decide create a pie after long time , let’s do this together for everyone

Ingredients

For the sheet

1 kg Mana flour for all uses (hold a little to open the leaves)
1 tablespoon chopped salt
1 cup olive oil
lukewarm water, as long as it takes (about 1 cup)
1 cup phytin, to open the leaves

For the filling

1 kg of spinach
2 large dried onions
60ml oil (corn oil)
2 leeks (white and tender green part), very finely chopped
2 tablespoons dill, finely chopped
1 teaspoon black pepper
2 full tablespoons yogurt
3 eggs
500g white cow cheese
1 cup oil (corn oil) for baking the pie

Preparation

1. Wash the spinach well

Spinach needs a very good wash because it collects soil at the stem. It wants at least three water changes in the basin. Do not wash it under running water, it is not enough.

Rinse and drain in colander. Cut into small pieces, on the cutting board, so that there are no rope-like pieces in the pie.

2. Grate the onion

Grate the onion in a coarse grater, instead of chopping it. The liquid of the onion will soften it quickly and it will be completely united with the filling materials.
3. Saute the filling

Put the onion with its liquids in a saucepan and let it steam to remove the many liquids. Then add the corn oil, the chopped spinach, the dill, the leek and sauté them until they drink the liquids that will come down. Add black pepper and a little salt.
4. Add eggs, yogurt & cheese

Remove from the heat and let cool. Beat the eggs and yogurt with a fork and add them to the spinach mixture. Mix well. Add the grated cheese. Stir. The filling is ready.
5. Spread the pie

Grease the pan with corn oil. Open one sheet into a thin sheet, slightly larger than the dimensions of the pan to cover the sides.

Spread the filling in the pan. Open the top sheet, as long as the pan is. We do not need to push it down or make a fuss. We just place it on the filling. Smear the top sheet with plenty of corn oil.

Cut the spinach pie all the way to the pieces you want. The oil will enter everywhere and will swim the pie. It is not excessive. Without plenty of oil, a good pie is not baked. This will make it rosy and crunchy.
6. Bake

Bake in a preheated oven at 200 degrees Celsius for about an hour. The spinach pie will have swelled and come off the walls of the pan.

That’s all folks!!!! Hope you enjoy this and I am waiting for your comments

Stay safe and healthy my friends and take care of your people

My best wishes from Greece
