Spanakopita (adapted from What's Cooking Chicago?)
2 T. olive oil
1 large onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
10 oz. frozen spinach
2 c. fresh spinach, stemmed
1 t. salt
1 t. black pepper
1 T. dill
3 scallions, chopped
1 c. feta cheese, crumbled
1 egg, beaten
1 package phyllo dough
4 T. butter, for brushing
1. Defrost the spinach and drain, set aside.
2. Heat the oil in a pan. Add the onions and saute for 5 minutes. Add in the garlic and cook and additional 2 minutes. Toss in the fresh spinach and cook until just wilted, about 3 minutes.
3. Remove from heat and add in salt, pepper, and dill. Mix well. Set aside to cool (about 10 minutes). Add in the scallions, feta, and egg. Stir until well combined.

I made this tonight, but almost forgot to add in the frozen spinach cause you don't mention what to do with it after it's drained. I added it in the last minute to the rest of the mixture.

Your Spanakopita looks so yummy! Is it possible to use puff pastry instead of phyllo? (Phyllo dough is not sold where I live :/)
