"Middle eastern cuisine provides some of the most delicious vegetarian options I have ever tasted. These fatayer are typically enjoyed as a meat pie, but the spinach version is tastier and healthier. The spices and ingredients all work together to create robust flavors you wont even realize are healthy. Perfect!" - Tosca Reno
2 TBSP extra virgin olive oil
1/2 yellow onion. finally chopped
1 LB frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained with all the water squeezed out (see prep tip)
2 TBSP fresh lime juice
1 TBSP toasted pine nuts
2 TBSP chopped fresh parsley
2 TSP sumac (see Tosca's tip)
3/4 TSP salt
1/4 fresh ground black pepper
1 LB whole wheat pizza dough, cut into 10 equal portions
Eat-Clean cooking spray
Directions
Place rack in lower third of oven, and preheat to 425 F
Heat olive oil in a skillet on medium. Add onions and cook until soft and translucent but not brown, about 3 minutes. Scrap into a medium bowl. Add spinach, lemon juice, pine nuts, parsley, sumac, salt and pepper. Mix well. You should have about 2 cups of spinach filling.
Roll out each portion of dough into a ball, and then, using a rolling pin, roll out each ball into a five-inch circle. Place about 3 TBSP of the spinach filling in the middle of the dough. Bring 3 edges up and pinch them together at the top, then continue pinching the edges together, making a triangle, until the pie is sealed. Spray baking sheet with Eat-Clean cooking spray and place spinach triangles on sheet. Repeat with remaining dough and spinach filling until all are used. Bake fore about 15 minutes, or until lightly browned and heated trough. remove from oven and serve.
Prep Tip
To make sure the spinach is as dry as possible, you can squeeze it into some cheesecloth or press it in a colander.
Tosca's Tip
Sumac can be found in a middle eastern or international grocery stores. If you can't find it, you can approximate the flavor by using equal parts paprika and lemon pepper.
