Directions
Spanakopita Greek Spinach Pie, The secret to my spanakopita is 3 kinds of onion – red onion, spring onions and leek. If you are lacking one, just add more of the others, but this is the ‘secret ingredient’ to an excellent pie. Enjoy!, Can use frozen spinach instead of fresh? What is the measurement of the cooked spinach? 2 cups?, Can I make this withough using dough or pastry of any kind? I just want it as a casserole or gratin dish.
