Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly oil a 9x9 inch square baking pan.
- Heat 3 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Saute onion, green onions and garlic, until soft and lightly browned. Stir in spinach and parsley, and continue to saute until spinach is limp, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
- In a medium bowl, mix together eggs, ricotta, and feta. Stir in spinach mixture. Lay 1 sheet of phyllo dough in prepared baking pan, and brush lightly with olive oil. Lay another sheet of phyllo dough on top, brush with olive oil, and repeat process with two more sheets of phyllo. The sheets will overlap the pan. Spread spinach and cheese mixture into pan and fold overhanging dough over filling. Brush with oil, then layer remaining 4 sheets of phyllo dough, brushing each with oil. Tuck overhanging dough into pan to seal filling.
- Bake in preheated oven for 30 to 40 minutes, until golden brown. Cut into squares and serve while hot.

SPINACH AND SORREL SPANAKOPITA
Mixing sorrel with spinach makes an outstanding spanakopita, but the combination is nothing new. The Greeks have been doing it for a long time and it makes a lot of sense. The distinctive tang of sorrel not only replaces the lemon juice often found in spinach fillings for spanakopita, but it also balances the brininess of the feta.

Steps:
- Make Filling:
- Cook spinach according to package instructions. Drain in a colander, then refresh under cold running water to stop the cooking, and drain well again. Transfer spinach to a clean kitchen towel (not terry cloth) twisting the ends together, and squeeze as much liquid as possible from the spinach. Transfer spinach to a large bowl.
- Cook scallions with 1/4 teaspoon salt in olive oil in a 9- to 10-inch non-stick skillet over medium heat, stirring, until softened, 2 to 3 minutes. Add sorrel and cook, stirring and adding 1 tablespoon water if sorrel is dry, until wilted, about 1 minute (sorrel will turn khaki gray almost immediately when heated). Add sorrel mixture to spinach and stir well.
- Stir in yolk, then feta, nutmeg, dill, and salt and pepper to taste and combine mixture well.
- Form and Bake Phyllo Triangles:
- Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Cover phyllo stack with 2 overlapping sheets of plastic wrap and then a dampened kitchen towel.
- Take 1 phyllo sheet from stack and arrange on a work surface with a long side nearest you (keeping remaining sheets covered) and brush all over with some butter. Cut buttered phyllo stack lengthwise into 4 strips, each about 3-inches wide and 17- inches long.
- Put a heaping teaspoon of filling near 1 corner of a strip on end nearest you, then fold corner of phyllo over to enclose filling and form a triangle. Continue folding strip (like a flag), maintaining triangle shape. Brush triangle all over with butter. Put triangle, seam side down, on parchment-lined sheet. Make more triangles in same manner, using all of phyllo.
- For best results, freeze spanakopita until firm, about 20 minutes.
- Bake triangles in middle of oven until golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes, then transfer to a rack to cool slightly.
SPANOKOPITA
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
- Heat the olive oil in a saute pan and add the scallions. Cook for 5 minutes or until soft. Meanwhile, squeeze most of the water out of the spinach and place it in a bowl. Add the scallions, dill, eggs, feta, salt, and pepper and mix together.
- Keep the phyllo dough sheets covered with a damp kitchen towel. Unfold 1 sheet of the phyllo dough. Brush the sheet with melted butter and sprinkle with breadcrumbs. Repeat the process by laying a second sheet of phyllo dough over the first sheet, brush it with melted butter and sprinkle with breadcrumbs until all 10 sheets have been used. Spoon 3/4 cup of the spinach mixture into a sausage shape along one edge of the phyllo dough. Roll it up. Brush the top with butter and score the roll into 1-inch rounds. Place it on an oiled baking sheet. Repeat until all the pastry and filling have been used.
- Place in the oven and bake for 12 minutes or until the edges are lightly browned. Serve warm.
SPINACH-SORREL TARTS
Sorrel imparts a lovely lemony tang to spinach. Although a half pound each of the greens may look like too much, they cook down dramatically.

Steps:
- Black-Pepper Pate Brisee: Preheat oven to 400 degrees, with rack in lowest position. Pulse flour, sugar, salt, and pepper in a food processor until combined. Add butter, and process until mixture resembles coarse meal, about 10 seconds. Drizzle 1/4 cup ice water over mixture. Pulse until mixture holds together when pressed between 2 fingers. If dough is too dry, add more water, 1 tablespoon at a time, and pulse. Shape dough into 2 disks, and wrap each in plastic wrap. Refrigerate dough until firm, at least 1 hour and up to 2 days.
- Filling: Heat oil in a large saute pan over medium heat. Cook onions, garlic, and red-pepper flakes until onions are softened and just starting to turn golden, about 10 minutes. Add spinach and sorrel, and cook, stirring with tongs, until greens just wilt, about 2 minutes. Let cool.
- Assembly: Roll out each piece of dough to an 11-by-14-inch rectangle on lightly floured parchment, and transfer to 2 baking sheets. Divide filling between rectangles, leaving a 2-inch border all around. Season filling with salt, and fold in edges of dough. Refrigerate 1 tart, and bake the other until edges are golden, about 35 minutes. Place half the cheese on top of filling, and bake until cheese is melted, 5 minutes more. Bake remaining tart in same manner. Serve tarts warm or at room temperature.
