Recipe Introduction


Spinach Pie


List of Ingredients




5 lbs Fresh Spinach
Salt
2 Tbsp Butter
1/2 lb Fat salt pork, finely chopped
1 clove Garlic, finely chopped
6 Green (spring) onions
2 cups All-purpose flour
2 Tbsp Lard or butter
2 Eggs
1 cup Grated Parmesan cheese

Recipe



# Wash the spinach carefully, pulling off any discolored leaves and coarse ribs or stalks. Put it into a pan without any water other than that clinging to the leaves, add salt to taste and cook, covered, over moderate heat until soft. Drain the spinach in a sieve or colander and press down firmly to extract all the moisture. Chop finely and reserve.
Heat the butter in a large, deep frying pan, add the salt pork and cook until the fat runs. Add the garlic and the onions, which you have chopped finely, green parts and all. When these are golden, stir in the chopped spinach. Mix well and simmer for 5 minutes longer. Check seasoning and reserve.
Sift the flour into a bowl. Rub in the lard or butter, add a pinch of salt and work in enough warm water to make a firm dough. Knead well, roll the dough into a ball and cut it in half. Roll each piece out thinly into two rounds, making one round larger than the other. Line a shallow pie pan with the larger round, over-lapping the sides, and fill it with the spinach mixture. Beat the eggs, add the Parmesan cheese and pour over the spinach. Cover with the remaining round of dough, and seal the two rounds firmly. Trim off untidy edges and prick the top with a fork.
Bake the pie in a hot oven (425 F degrees) for 20 minutes, or until the top is golden brown. Serve hot.
