My ladyfriend is into Italian, South Asian, and Middle Eastern food most, and tonight she called requesting we try our hand at homemade spinach pie. There’s a great Lebanese deli in Northeast Minneapolis called Emily’s that makes the best tabouli EVER, and their hummus and baba ghanoush is nothing to sniff at either! They also make spinach pies which I remember being awesome (but I’m fairly certain they’re made with butter, so I haven’t had one in a few years). Because of the spontaneous nature of this dinner, I ended up using the other half of my pizza dough from VWAV. The dough for spinach pie should have quite a bit more oil in it, but the substitution worked out pretty well. For the filling I sauteed lots of onions and fresh spinach, then added salt, za’atar seasoning, cayenne, pomegranate molasses, and black pepper.
Those spinach pies look really good – a great way to use up that 2nd pizza dough!
That looks like a great tasting dinner! I want a spinach pie so badly right now.
Oh that looks divine.
Oh my gosh! I love those spinach pies so much, and never thought to try it myself. Thanks for the inspiration – yours looks a million times better then the reheated heated ones I buy from the M.E grocercy shop!
Wow…I really wish I came home to that meal!

that looks so good! i love spinach pie.
That looks AWESOME! Gah! Must. Stop. Looking. At. Food.
That looks pretty amazing. Did you just bake those? They look almost seared on the top.
Yep, they were just baked at 400 for about 25 minutes. I turned them over; they got dark from the heat of the sheet pan.
Your ladyfriend has an excellent taste in food! And she’s lucky to have such a great cook. That pie looks fantastic.
I LOVE spinach pies! So good. Yours looks awesome, especially for an on-the-fly creation.
