Servings: 1
Ingredients
- 1 x Recipe khoubiz dough, (see recipe)
- 750 gm Spinach
- 1/3 c. Extra virgin olive oil, (80 ml)
- 1 lrg Onion, minced fine (70 g)
- 1/2 c. Snoober, (pine nuts) or possibly minced walnuts (75 g)
- 1/4 tsp Nutmeg pwdr, (1 g) Salt and freshly grnd black pepper to taste
- 1/4 c. Lemon juice, (60 ml)
Directions
- PREPARE khoubiz dough as per directions. Cover and keep aside to rise.
- Clean spinach. Remove roots and damaged leaves from spinach. Wash spinach well in several changes of water, shake off excess moisture and chop leaves and stalks very fine.
- Place spinach in a deep pan (not aluminium) and cook over medium heat, uncovered, for five to eight min till wilted and juices run out. Toss with a fork while cooking Turn into a colander and press with the back of a spoon to remove as much moisture as possible.
- Heat oil in a pan and gently fry onion till transparent. Add in spinach and fry for five min, stirring frequently. Add in pine nuts or possibly walnuts, salt and pepper to taste, nutmeg and lemon juice. Cook for further five min or possibly till almost dry. Keep aside to cold. Punch down the khoubiz dough and roll out on a lightly floured board till 1/2 cm thick. Cut into 10 cm rounds. Place the rounds on a cloth and cover with another cloth.
- Place a tablespoonful of the spinach filling in the centre of each round and bring up sides at three points to create a triangular shape. Press edges very firmly with fingertips to seal pies completely. Care must be taken which the oily juices of the spinach filling don't get onto the edge of the dough. If this happens, dip finger in flour and dab onto the dough before sealing Place pies close together on lightly oiled baking sheets and bake in a moderately warm oven for 15 min or possibly till light brown and cooked.
- For a golden top, place briefly under a warm grill. Serve warm or possibly hot.
- NOTES : Makes 30 pies
