Ingredients
To make Spinach Fatayer, you will need the following ingredients:
- 3 cups fresh spinach, washed and chopped
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
- 1/4 cup pine nuts (optional)
- 1 package of store-bought dough or homemade pastry dough
- 1 egg (for egg wash, optional)
Instructions
Now that you have your ingredients ready, follow these simple steps to create your delicious Spinach Fatayer:
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until golden brown.
- Stir in the chopped spinach, salt, pepper, and allspice. Cook until the spinach wilts and reduces in size, about 3-4 minutes.
- If using, add the pine nuts, and stir to combine. Remove the skillet from heat and let the filling cool slightly.
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Roll out the pastry dough on a floured surface until it’s about 1/8 inch thick.
- Cut out circles of dough (about 4-5 inches in diameter). Place a spoonful of the spinach mixture in the center of each circle.
- Fold the dough over the filling to create a half-moon shape and crimp the edges to seal tightly. Place the filled pastries on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- If desired, brush the tops of the pastries with beaten egg for a golden finish.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastries are golden brown and flaky.
Once baked, allow the Spinach Fatayer to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them warm or at room temperature, and savor the delicious flavors and textures. These delightful pastries are sure to become a favorite in your household!
