Fill it, fold it, fry it, and feast on it! This is our take on the famous Greek pastry ‘spanakopita’. A creamy spinach filling is served inside a soft tortilla, which is then fried to golden perfection! It is sided with cucumber, baby tomatoes, fresh salad leaves, and creamy tzatziki.

From your kitchen:

START THE ‘KOPITA
Place a pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the diced onion until soft, 3-4 minutes (shifting occasionally). Add the nutmeg, the oregano, and the grated garlic and fry until fragrant, 1-2 minutes (shifting constantly). Add the rinsed spinach. Fry until the spinach is wilted and all excess liquid has evaporated, 3-4 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pan and place in a bowl. Mix through the crumbled feta, the cream cheese, and seasoning.
FOLD IN THE FILLING
Lay the tortillas on a chopping board in a single layer. Using a knife, make an incision from the center of the tortillas to the bottom edge. Cover the tortillas in the spinach mixture in a single layer. Working with one tortilla at a time, fold the bottom left corner up over the top left corner. Then fold it over the top right corner. Finally, fold it over the bottom right corner to create a stuffed tortilla triangle, with one open side. Repeat with the remaining tortillas to create 2 triangles.
GOLDEN TORTILLAS
Return the pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil or a knob of butter (optional). When hot, fry a stuffed tortilla triangle until crisp and golden on both sides, 3-4 minutes (flipping halfway). Be careful not to lose any filling! Repeat with the remaining tortilla.
YOU’RE THE SALAD TO MY SPANAKOPITA
In a salad bowl, combine the rinsed salad leaves, the cucumber half-moons, the halved baby tomatoes, seasoning, and a drizzle of olive oil.
