Sun Shaped Spinach Pie Recipe 415

CRISPY GREEK-STYLE PIE

Steps:

• Put the spinach into a large pan. Pour over a couple tbsp water, then cook until just wilted. Tip into a sieve, leave to cool a little, then squeeze out any excess water and roughly chop. Roughly chop the tomatoes and put into a bowl along with the spinach, feta and eggs. Mix well.
• Carefully unroll the filo pastry. Cover with some damp sheets of kitchen paper to stop it drying out. Take a sheet of pastry and brush liberally with some of the sundried tomato oil. Drape oil-side down in a 22cm loosebottomed cake tin so that some of the pastry hangs over the side. Brush oil on another piece of pastry and place in the tin, just a little further round. Keep placing the pastry pieces in the tin until you have roughly three layers, then spoon over the filling. Pull the sides into the middle, scrunch up and make sure the filling is covered. Brush with a little more oil.
• Heat oven to 180C/fan 160C/gas 4. Cook the pie for 30 mins until the pastry is crisp and golden brown. Remove from the cake tin, slice into wedges and serve with salad.

SUN-SHAPED SPINACH PIE RECIPE - (4.1/5)

Steps:

• 1-Place all dough ingredients in a stand mixer. Using the dough hook, knead until the dough is smooth and combined. Wrap in plastic while you make the filling. 2-To create the filling, Boil spinach, squeeze out excess water and chop. Mix the cooked spinach with the ricotta. Next, add egg, Parmesan, salt and pepper. Mix well. Set aside. 3-Unwrap your dough from the plastic and divide it into two equal parts. 4-Using a rolling pin, roll out each dough ball to create two circles 30 cm /12 inches in diameter each. 5-On your first dough circle, sprinkle breadcrumbs to help absorb the moisture of the filling and to keep the dough dry. 6-Reserve about two cups for center and distribute remaining filling in a ring shape on the dough that was just sprinkled with breadcrumbs. Make sure to leave an inch of dough exposed between the ring and the dough edge. 7-Place one large dollop at the center of the circle, leaving a inch or so gap of dough exposed between it and outer ring of filling. 8-Sprinkle the filling with grated Parmesan. 9-Cover with the second circle of dough and seal the edges with your hands, and then use a fork to press together. 10-Place a small bowl, upside down, in the middle of the pie and press lightly to make an indentation. Use a fork to press perforations around the edge of the bowl. (I advise using a ceramic bowl or large cup with smooth edges.) 11-Leaving the bowl in place, cut the dough with a knife into pieces approximately 2 cm/3/4 inch wide, keeping it attached at the center, near the bowl edge. 12-Gently twist each slice halfway, so filling faces upward. Continue until each slice is twisted. Remove bowl. 13-Bake at 350 F for 30 minutes or until golden brown.

SPINACH PIE WITH SUN-DRIED TOMATOES

Steps:

• Line a 9-inch pie plate with one crust round.
• Beat one of the eggs with a fork and use a pastry brush to lightly brush egg over the pie crust (you might not need all of the egg- save the rest for brushing the top crust later).
• Beat remaining eggs in a large bowl, using a whisk.
• Add cheese, pepper, and basil and stir to combine.
• Add spinach (make sure it has been drained very well- squeezed over a colander to get out all the freezer moisture), as well as the bread crumbs and tomatoes.
• Pour filling into crust and top with the second crust round.
• Fold edges under to seal and crimp or flute edges as desired.
• Brush with remaining egg wash.
• Cut a few slits in the top crust and bake in a preheated 375 F oven for 25 minutes.
• Cover edges with a ring of foil or a pie sheild, then continue baking another 20 minutes.
• Cool on wire rack at least 15 minutes before attempting to slice.

SPINACH AND POTATO PIE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Place the potatoes in the preheated oven, and bake for 45 minutes, or until tender. Turn once or twice. Cool, peel and cut into 1/4 inch slices.
• Reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• In a medium bowl, stir together the spinach, green onion, ricotta cheese, lemon juice, salt and pepper. Wet the matzo sheets under warm running water briefly on each side, just until pliable. Place one in the bottom of a 9 inch square baking dish. Spread 1/4 of the ricotta mixture over it, followed by a layer of potato slices. Sprinkle 1/4 of the mozzarella cheese over the potatoes. Repeat the layers, and finish with mozzarella cheese on top.
• Bake for 35 minutes in the preheated oven, until the cheese on top is bubbly and golden brown. Keep warm until you are ready to serve. Cut into squares.
