This authentic spanakopita is a wonderful example of Greek home cooking, combining crisp, golden pastry with a rich, savoury filling of spinach and salty feta cheese. The addition of fresh dill and mint provides a bright, aromatic lift that balances the richness of the eggs and cheese. It is a versatile vegetarian dish that works beautifully as a substantial lunch or as part of a traditional mezze spread.

Using shop-bought pastry makes this impressive pie surprisingly easy to assemble for a midweek meal or a weekend gathering. The secret to a perfect bake is ensuring the spinach is thoroughly drained, resulting in a light, flaky finish. Serve it warm from the oven or at room temperature alongside a crisp Greek salad for a complete and healthy Mediterranean feast.

1.1kg fresh baby spinach, rinsed and dried
1/2 चम्मच ताज़ी पिसी हुई काली मिर्च

1/2 cup finely chopped fresh mint
3 large eggs, lightly beaten

How to make Mama Voula's Spanakopita

ओवन को 177°C पर पहले से गरम करें।.

Place a large skillet over medium-high heat and coat with the 45ml of oil. When the oil is hazy, add the leeks and garlic; cook and stir until fragrant and very soft, about 4 minutes. Add the spinach in handfuls, folding the leaves under with a spoon as you add each batch. Let the spinach wilt and cook down before adding more. Once all the spinach is in the pan, season with the pepper.

Remove from the heat and transfer the spinach mixture to a colander over the sink. Using the back of a spoon, gently press out all of the excess liquid. Set aside to cool; the filling needs to cool down a bit to prevent the dough from becoming soggy. Once the mixture is cool, add the feta, dill, mint, and eggs. Fold the ingredients together until well combined.

Brush the bottom and sides of a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with oil. Working with 1 sheet at a time, lay the dough on a lightly floured surface and roll it out slightly to fit the pan. Line the bottom of the dish with the first piece of dough, pressing into the corners. Trim off any excess with a paring knife. Spread the spinach filling evenly over the dough. Cover with the second sheet of dough, trimming around the edges of the dish. Brush the top with oil.

Bake until the top is puffed and golden brown, about 30 to 35 minutes. Let stand for 10 minutes before cutting into squares. Serve warm or at room temperature.
