Categories     appetizer

Time 1h15m

Yield 16 pieces

Number Of Ingredients 13

10 ounces frozen chopped spinach
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 small onion, finely chopped
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 to 4 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
3/4 cup crumbled feta
3 tablespoons heavy cream
1 teaspoon lemon juice
A few shakes hot sauce
One 14.1-ounce box refrigerated rolled pie crusts (2 crusts total) or 2 homemade rounds pie dough
1 large egg yolk, beaten with a splash of water
Flaky sea salt, for sprinkling

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Set the frozen spinach out on a plate at room temperature to soften slightly.
  • Melt the butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onion and a pinch of salt. Cook, stirring often, until the onion is soft and translucent, 5 to 7 minutes. Add the garlic and a few turns of black pepper and cook until fragrant, 1 more minute. Add the flour and stir to combine, then stir in the spinach and a good pinch of salt. Cook, stirring, until the spinach is heated through and the mixture is combined. Stir in the feta, heavy cream, lemon juice and hot sauce, then remove it from the heat. Taste and adjust seasonings as desired.
  • Roll out half of the pie dough on a lightly floured surface until it is a large round, about 1/4 inch thick. (If using store-bought pre-rolled dough, simply unroll it onto your surface.) Spread on half the spinach mixture in an even layer so that it covers the dough. Using a pizza cutter or knife, cut the dough like a pizza into 8 triangular wedges. Roll up each section starting at the wide end. Transfer the rugelach to the lined baking sheets, placing them 1 inch apart. Repeat with the other half of the dough and spinach filling.
  • Lightly brush the tops with egg wash and sprinkle with sea salt.
  • Bake until golden brown, about 20 minutes. Let cool slightly and enjoy. Store leftovers in the fridge and reheat in a toaster oven.

SPINACH AND FETA SPANAKOPITA

Provided by Kelsey Nixon

Categories     appetizer

Time 1h

Yield 25 to 30 triangles

Number Of Ingredients 9

One 10-ounce package frozen spinach, thawed and drained
1 stick (1/2 cup) unsalted butter
1 clove garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
2 cups crumbled feta cheese (about 8 ounces)
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon cracked black pepper
1 large egg, beaten
10 phyllo sheets, thawed if frozen

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Thoroughly squeeze any excess water from the thawed spinach, removing as much liquid as possible. Coarsely chop.
  • Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant and golden brown. Add the spinach and nutmeg, sauteing for 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and mix in the feta, lemon juice, cracked black pepper and egg to thoroughly combine. Allow the filling to cool.
  • Melt the remaining butter over medium heat in a small saucepan. Cool slightly. Cover the stack of phyllo sheets with a clean damp kitchen towel.
  • Working with the long side of the phyllo sheet nearest you, take 1 sheet from the stack and brush the entire surface with butter. Top with another phyllo sheet, brushing with more butter. Cut crosswise into five 2 1/2 to 3-inch strips.
  • Place 2 teaspoons filling in the corner of each strip. Just like you would fold a flag, fold the corner of phyllo over to enclose the filling, forming a triangle, and continue folding the entire strip. Ending with the seam-side down, place the triangles on a large baking sheet and brush the tops with butter.
  • Follow the same steps with the remaining ingredients.
  • Space evenly on a sheet tray and bake until golden brown, about 25 minutes. Remove from the oven and transfer to a wire rack to cool slightly.

Greek flavor with a Southern twist. I love Southern-style creamed spinach, but I also love the combination of spinach and feta found in Greek cookery. This recipe pulls it all together. You could really dress this up by topping with buttered breadcrumbs and baking until the top is crunchy.

SPINACH AND FETA PASTA



Spinach and Feta Pasta image

An all time favorite of mine, I got this recipe from Allrecipes posted by Suki. It's fast and easy to make and tastes fantastic. Crusty rolls for mopping up the juices is all that's needed to finish the meal. I use lots more of the red pepper flakes to add zing and probably more feta as well since it's my favorite cheese. It's a real filling dinner for those nights when we want to eat vegetarian and DH requests this one frequently.

SPINACH AND FETA QUICHE



Spinach and Feta Quiche image

Inspired by a desire to recreate a favourite quiche from a local coffee shop. I generally serve with a green salad. Serves 4.

Provided by bruc044

Time 1h10m

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 0

Steps:

  • To make the pastry, tip the flour, herbs if using and butter into a bowl, then rub together with your fingertips until completely mixed and crumbly. Add 4 tbsp cold water, then bring everything together with your hands until just combined. Roll into a ball for use straight away or chill for up to 2 days.
  • Roll out the pastry on a lightly floured surface to a round about 4cm larger than a 22cm tart dish (the one I use is of glass and about 4 cm deep). Use your rolling pin to lift it up, then drape over the tart case so there is an overhang of pastry on the sides. Using a small ball of pastry scraps, push the pastry into the corners of the dish and run the rolling pin over the top to trim. Chill in the fridge or freezer for 20 mins. Heat oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6.
  • Lightly prick the base of the tart with a fork, line the tart case with a large circle of greaseproof paper or foil, then fill with baking beans. Blind-bake the tart for 20 mins, remove the paper and beans, then continue to cook for 5-10 mins until biscuit brown.
  • While the tart case cooks, in a frying pan saute the chopped pepper in butter until softened (about 2 minutes). Then add the spinach and sauté just till wilted. Finally add the chopped sun dried tomatoes and turn off the heat.
  • Beat the eggs in a large bowl. Gradually add the creme fraiche, then stir in the dried oregano and season. You may not need salt as the feta will provide quite a bit. When the case is ready, sprinkle the crumbled feta over the base, then the sautéed spinach. peppers and tomato and finally pour over the egg mix. Bake for 20-25 mins until set and golden brown. Leave to cool in the case, then remove from the tin.

Tips:

  • Select fresh vegetables: Use fresh, tender vegetables for the best flavor and texture. Look for vibrantly colored spinach, crisp bell peppers, and plump kernels of corn.
  • Prepare vegetables properly: Clean and trim the vegetables thoroughly. Cut them into uniform sizes so they cook evenly. Blanching the corn and spinach helps preserve their color and nutrients.
  • Use good quality feta cheese: Crumbled feta cheese adds a tangy, salty flavor to the succotash. Opt for a high-quality feta cheese made from sheep's milk or a blend of sheep's and goat's milk.
  • Add herbs and spices: Fresh herbs like basil, thyme, or oregano enhance the flavor of the succotash. A sprinkle of paprika or cumin adds a smoky, earthy note.
  • Cook over medium heat: Cook the succotash over medium heat to prevent the vegetables from overcooking and becoming mushy. Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking.

Conclusion:

Spinach Feta Succotash is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed as a main course or a side dish. It's packed with fresh vegetables, creamy feta cheese, and flavorful herbs and spices. The combination of textures and flavors makes this succotash a delightful dish that's perfect for summer gatherings or as a healthy weeknight meal. Don't forget to adjust the seasonings according to your taste preferences and experiment with different types of vegetables to create your own unique variations of this classic recipe.
