SPANAKOPITA RECIPE - NYT COOKING



Spanakopita Recipe - NYT Cooking image

Spanakopita, the classic Greek savory pie, is elegant and impressive, yet easy to make. The star ingredient is spinach, and lots of it (two pounds to be exact). This pie tastes best when made with fresh spinach, though you could also use the same amount of frozen spinach — just be sure to thaw completely and squeeze out all the excess water before using. This recipe can be baked a day ahead and stored in the refrigerator overnight, then rewarmed at 400 degrees until heated through, about 15 minutes. Cut into small squares or triangles to serve as an appetizer, or for a more complete meal, serve larger squares of the pie alongside soup or salad.

Total Time 2 hours

Yield One 9-by-13-inch pie

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 cup finely chopped onion
5 scallions, trimmed and finely chopped (about 3/4 cup)
2 tablespoons minced garlic
Kosher salt and black pepper
2 pounds baby spinach (32 ounces)
2 large eggs
1 1/4 cups crumbled feta (6 ounces)
1/2 cup grated Parmesan (2 ounces)
1/2 cup chopped parsley
1/2 cup/115 grams unsalted butter (1 stick), melted
8 sheets frozen phyllo dough, thawed and halved crosswise

Steps:

  • In a large pot, heat oil over medium. Add onion, scallions and garlic, season with salt and pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 5 minutes.
  • In batches, stir in spinach until wilted, about 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Strain spinach mixture through a sieve, pressing out excess liquid to prevent a soggy crust. Transfer to a large bowl and cool for 5 minutes. Add eggs, feta, Parmesan and parsley and stir until combined.
  • Heat oven to 375 degrees. Lightly grease a 9-by-13-inch pan (2 inches deep) with butter. Lay one half sheet of phyllo dough in baking dish. Using a pastry brush, brush dough with butter. Repeat 7 more times to form crust. Spread spinach mixture evenly over crust. Brush one half sheet of phyllo dough with butter and lay on top of filling, butter side up. Repeat with remaining 7 sheets of dough. Using a serrated knife, lightly score top layer of dough into squares (this will make it easier to cut once baked). Bake until crust is lightly golden and filling is heated through, 50 to 60 minutes. Serve warm.

Provided by EPICURIOUS.COM

Total Time 1 1/2 hr

Cook Time 45 min

Yield Makes 30 pastries

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 stick (1/2 cup) plus 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 lb baby spinach
1/2 lb feta, crumbled (scant 2 cups)
1/2 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
10 (17- by 12-inch) phyllo sheets, thawed if frozen

Steps:

  • Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a 12-inch heavy skillet over moderate heat, then cook spinach, stirring, until wilted and tender, about 4 minutes. Remove from heat and cool, about 10 minutes. Squeeze handfuls of spinach to remove as much liquid as possible, then coarsely chop. Transfer to a bowl and stir in feta, nutmeg, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper.
  • Preheat oven to 375°F.
  • Melt remaining 1 stick butter in a small saucepan, then cool.
  • Cover phyllo stack with 2 overlapping sheets of plastic wrap and then a dampened kitchen towel.
  • Take 1 phyllo sheet from stack and arrange on a work surface with a long side nearest you (keeping remaining sheets covered) and brush with some butter. Top with another phyllo sheet and brush with more butter. Cut buttered phyllo stack crosswise into 6 (roughly 12- by 2 3/4-inch) strips.
  • Put a heaping teaspoon of filling near 1 corner of a strip on end nearest you, then fold corner of phyllo over to enclose filling and form a triangle. Continue folding strip (like a flag), maintaining triangle shape. Put triangle, seam side down, on a large baking sheet and brush top with butter. Make more triangles in same manner, using all of phyllo.
  • Bake triangles in middle of oven until golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes, then transfer to a rack to cool slightly.

  • Make filling: Preheat oven to 375° and line two medium baking sheets with parchment paper. Using a clean kitchen towel, squeeze all excess moisture out of spinach. Transfer to a large bowl. In a large skillet over medium heat, heat oil. Add onion and green onions and cook until softened, 5 minutes. Add garlic, oregano, red pepper flakes if using, and season with salt and pepper. Transfer mixture to bowl with spinach. Add dill, lemon zest, feta, and nutmeg to bowl with spinach and stir until all ingredients are evenly mixed and season again with salt and pepper, if needed. Remove phyllo from refrigerator and cover with a lightly damp kitchen towel. Take 1 phyllo sheet and place on a clean surface. Brush all over with melted butter, then top with another sheet of phyllo. Brush second sheet of phyllo all over with butter, then slice into 6 long, evenly sized strips (about 12"-x-3" each). Assemble spanakopita: Place a tablespoon of spinach mixture on the corner nearest you on one strip of phyllo. Fold corner over mixture to make a triangle, then continue folding (like a flag) until phyllo strip is completely folded over spinach mixture. Repeat until all filling and all phyllo is used. Place all folded triangles seam side down on prepared baking sheets and brush with butter. Bake until golden and crisp, 20 to 23 minutes. Let cool slightly before serving.
