20 Lebanese Spinach Pie Recipe Get Ready To Indulge!

Ingredients:

Dough:

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon active dry yeast
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 cup warm water

Filling:

• 1 lb fresh spinach, chopped
• 1 large onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 teaspoon sumac
• 1 teaspoon allspice
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions:

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, yeast, sugar, and salt. Add in the olive oil and warm water, and mix until a smooth dough forms. Cover the bowl with a clean towel and let it rise for 30 minutes.
2. In the meantime, prepare the filling by sautéing the chopped onion and minced garlic in olive oil until they are soft and translucent. Add in the chopped spinach and cook until it wilts.
3. Season the spinach mixture with sumac, allspice, salt, and black pepper, and continue cooking for another 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let it cool.
4. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Take the risen dough and divide it into small balls, about the size of a golf ball. Roll out each ball into a thin circle, about 6 inches in diameter.
5. Place a scoop of the spinach filling in the center of each dough circle. Fold the edges of the dough over the filling, leaving a small opening in the center.
6. Place the spinach pies on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, and bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
7. Remove from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving.

This Lebanese spinach pie can be enjoyed as a snack, appetizer, or even a light meal. It is a perfect balance of flavors and textures, with the flaky dough complementing the savory and aromatic spinach filling. Serve it with a side of tzatziki sauce for an extra burst of flavor.
