]]> Greek cuisine is always a highlight when visiting this country. They have the best pastries and desserts that you keep thinking about long after your vacation there. If you are as obsessed with spanakopita as we are, we found an easy recipe to try. The total time is 1 1/2 hour.

Ingredients

The ingredients you need are:
1 lb baby spinach
1/2 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1/2 lb crumbled feta
10 phyllo sheets
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper

Instructions

Start the preparations for the Greek spanakopita by setting the oven to 375 F degrees.

Get a skillet and add 1 tablespoon of butter. Melt it and add the spinach. Cook for 4 minutes, then drain all the liquid.

Chop the spinach and combine it with 1/2 teaspoon pepper, nutmeg, feta, 1/2 teaspoon salt.

Place the 1/2 cup butter in a skillet and melt it. Wait for it to cool down.

Place one phyllo sheet on your working spot, use a brush and butter to go over it. Cover it with another sheet. You should place them crosswise to get 6 strips.

Use 1 teaspoon of the spinach mix and fold the sheets into a triangle.

Place the spanakopita on a baking sheet. When you fill it, bake for 20 to 25 minutes.

Tyropita | Τυρόπιτα – #Greek cheese pie. I made a simple one with just four ingredients: feta, phyllo, olive oil and egg. Sometimes simple is best • #RECIPE: 1/2 pack phyllo 14 oz (400g) feta cheese 2 eggs Olive oil METHOD: Lay out your phyllo sheets (defrosted overnight in the fridge if frozen), and brush a 9-10 inch round pan with olive oil. Brush a sheet with oil and lay it in the pan. You want to drape it, not getting it perfectly flat – folds are good! They trap air and make for a crispier bottom! Repeat process with about six sheets, rotating them as you lay them so that the sides of the pan are all covered. Mix the crumbled feta and eggs. (You can use less feta and just one egg if using a smaller pan.) Place the filling in the pan and even out to the sides. The filling should be no more than a scant inch thick. Fold the phyllo sheets hanging over the sides of the pan over towards the center of the pie. Cover with two to three more sheets, brushed with oil. Scrunch the edges in (I press them down sort of messily with my pastry brush) and score the top. Bake about 1 hour in a 350 F / 180 C oven till golden brown.

Stuffed tomatoes = summer ❤☀🍅 It's taken me years to get my Gemista to the level of perfection that is my aunt Magda's. I'm almost there! • #RECIPE: 12 tomatoes 1/2 cup olive oil 1 onion, grated 1 small bunch mint, chopped 1 small bunch parsley, chopped 2 teaspoons dried oregano 12 tablespoons medium grain rice 1-2 potatoes, peeled and cut into eighths METHOD: Cut a cap off of each tomato. Scoop insides out into a bowl. Purée tomato flesh. Set aside. Cook the onion gently in half the oil till soft. Add the rice and herbs and stir to coat in oil, then add about half of the puréed tomatoes. Season well with salt and pepper (use more salt than you think it needs). Cook gently for a few minutes, then spoon mixture into tomatoes so that each tomato is about 2/3 full. Replace the caps. Arrange potatoes around the pan. Pour over the remaining tomato and oil. Season with salt and pepper. Bake in a preheated 375 F / 190 C oven till tomatoes are wrinkly and browned. Enjoy at room temperature. . . . #greek #greekfood #greeksinla #veganfood #vegan #vegetarian #tomatoes #summer #mediterraneandiet #healthyfood #nom #eeeeats #foodgram #foodporn #f52grams #feedfeed @thefeedfeed #recipeoftheday #recipeideas #healthy #rice #cleaneating
