Recipe: Bosnian Spinach Pie - serves 8!
1 package thawed filo pastry
2 bags washed fresh spinach
1 egg
1/4 cup sour cream (can use low fat)
1/2 lb feta cheese, crumbled
1 cup shredded mild cheddar cheese
olive oil
1 1/2
teaspoons salt
low-fat milk
low-fat plain yogurt (optional)
Preheat oven to 350F
Wash and drain spinach.
Chop spinach and put in a big glass bowl.
Add salt and mix with hands.
Leave the spinach to sit for about 10 minutes to allow the salt to draw out the water from the vegetable.
Drain the spinach by either squeezing it bit by bit with your hand over the sink or by spinning several times in a salad spinner.
Transfer drained spinach into a new bowl.
Add egg, and sour cream.
Fold in feta and cheddar cheese.
Put some olive oil in a small bowl.
Grease a 9"*13" glass or metal baking pan.
Take your phyllo dough sheets and lie the sheets, stacked, on a dry surface.
TIP: (While adding the filling, you may wish to cover the dough with a dry towel and then a damp one to keep it from drying out or flaking) Place one sheet of dough into the pan and cut away excess.
Brush with oil, using either your hands or a pastry brush.
Repeat until dough is 6 or 7 layers.
Add a skim of filling with hands and spread evenly.
Repeat steps 16-18 until the pie reaches the top of the pan or you run out of ingredients.
Just make sure you finish with the dough on top, sort of like lasagna.
Place pie in the oven, uncovered, about 45 minutes.
The top becomes flaky.
Pour on top of the pie while it is baking, 1/4 cup sour cream blended with 0.125 cup of milk.
Bake for 15 more minutes.
This dish can be served warm or room temperature.
It is traditionally served with a yogurt beverage which is easily replicated by mixing the plain yogurt with milk, in equal parts.
