Vegetable fillings help to make the dish not only easy, but also tasty and healthy. Perhaps this is why many housewives love to cook homemade spinach pies.
Simplest option
Cooking is an art through which a woman, while cooking in the kitchen, can show love and care for her household. Caring for their health, she tries to choose not only delicious, but also the most useful recipes. Take, for example, pies with spinach.
They can be easily prepared with only:
For the test:
4 cups flour: 60 grams of milk powder, a third cup of vegetable oil, 25 grams of sugar, 1 egg, a tablespoon of dried yeast, as well as 10-15 grams of sugar and a little water for breeding.
For filling:
3 handfuls of chopped spinach, 6 grams of citric acid, half an onion, a little salt, 35 grams of vegetable oil and a teaspoon of shatta (for lovers).
Spinach pies are prepared as follows:
- The first step is to knead the dough. To do this, first grind the flour thoroughly with oil, and then add the rest of the ingredients.
- At the same time, dilute the yeast in a glass, pouring them with warm water and sugar. After the product begins to work and lush foam appears, it should be added to the total mass and finish the batch. Pouring a little water, make the mass moderately thick.
- Roll the dough into a ball and leave it in a warm place for half an hour.
- At this time, you can make the filling. To do this, connect all components together and gently knead them with your fingers.
- After the mass increases in volume, it must be divided into pieces, from which then roll the balls.
- First, flatten each blank, put a little filling in the middle, and then roll in the form of a triangle, carefully wrapping the edges.
Spinach pies should be baked on a baking sheet in a hot oven, greasing their surface with oil.
Puff pastry
Those who do not like lush yeast baking can be advised to use another option. They should probably like puff pastry with spinach.
To prepare such products you will need:
for 0.5 kilograms of ready-made puff pastry 150 grams of fresh spinach and 250 grams of Adyghe cheese, a tablespoon of sour cream, 1 egg, leek, a little salt and a bunch of green feather onions.
In this case, it all starts with the filling:
- First you need to grind all the products: chop the spinach and both types of onions, cut into pieces of cheese, and then season with sour cream and grind well.
- So that the filling does not crumble and is more tender, beaten egg white must be introduced into the mixture.
- Roll out the dough into a thin layer, and then cut into even squares.
- In the center of each of them, knead the filling, and then wrap the edges in any convenient way: in the form of triangles, dumplings or envelopes.
- Coat the surface of each semi-finished product with yolk diluted with water.
Bake the products for 25 minutes on a baking sheet in the oven, heated to 180 degrees.
Various options
The recipe for spinach pies may depend not only on the type of dough used. No less important is the filling in such a product. There are hundreds of different variants of mixtures that can be used to make pies. For example, a mass with the addition of rice is very tasty. She plays a dual role:
- Saves greenery if it is not enough.
- Fastens the mixture, preventing it from spilling.
To prepare such a filling, it is best to use the following composition:
per bunch of fresh or 300 grams of frozen spinach 1 onion, 100 grams of rice, 2 fresh eggs, 50 grams of any hard cheese, a little greens (onions, dill or parsley) and a couple of tablespoons of vegetable oil.
The mass is prepared as follows:
- Boil the rice, then rinse and allow the water to drain completely.
- Slightly pass the onions in oil, and then add chopped spinach and simmer the foods together.
- Combine both of the resulting products.
- Boil, crumble the eggs and, together with the grated cheese, also add to the cooked mass.
- Introduce the remaining ingredients and mix well.
Now the filling is completely ready. It can be used for any kind of test. In each case, the result will be excellent.
