Fatayer (Spinach turnovers) - A delicious and savory pastry

Ingredients

  • 2 cups fresh spinach, washed and chopped
  • 1 onion, finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1/4 cup fresh mint, chopped (optional)
  • 1 package of ready-made puff pastry (or make your own dough)
  • 1 egg (for egg wash)

Instructions

  1. In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent.
  2. Add the chopped spinach to the skillet, and cook until wilted. This should take about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Stir in the ground cumin, salt, pepper, parsley, and mint. Cook for another minute, then remove the mixture from heat and let it cool.
  4. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  5. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the puff pastry. Cut into circles of about 3-4 inches in diameter.
  6. Place a spoonful of the spinach mixture onto one half of each circle. Fold the dough over to create a semi-circle and press the edges to seal. You can crimp the edges with a fork for decorative flair.
  7. Place the turnovers on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. In a small bowl, beat the egg and brush the mixture over the tops of the turnovers.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.
  9. Once baked, let them cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your homemade Fatayer while they’re warm!
