On the 27th I’ll be having family over for dinner. So, I’m slowly gearing up with the preparations. Today I prepared these spanakopita triangles, and put them in the freezer. Only baking them will be needed on Thursday
Craving spanakopita now. Love the flavour combo of spinach and feta. Not seen it premade in shops/cafes/bakeries nearby so will have to have a go myself, maybe at the weekend. Having never made it before - anyone have tips on how to make? Brands of filo available in Ireland?

Serendipity. Sat down to watch cartoons on random while the #Spanakopita baked for dinner...
Hortopita (like #spanakopita but with mixed greens) using @ChryssaD's home-made gluten-free filo and filled with chard, beetroot and amaranth leaves. With gigantes plaki (baked broad beans) and salad.
The #EamonRyan window boxes are providing something almost every day this summer. We have loads of basil all summer and chilis ready to harvest inside our South-facing windows too.

@LifeTimeCooking many years ago, before I understood seasonality, I was at the #PrestonMarkets in Melbourne looking for spinach at the height of summer. Of course there wasn’t any, but one small stall run by an old Greek lady had some similar-looking greens on a low, out-of-the-way shelf. I asked her what they were, and she said, “is Greek vegetable” in a way that meant “you don’t want that.” But I asked her what she called it (“vlita”) and how she cooked it (sautéed with garlic, olive oil and a squeeze of lemon) and figured it sounded like a workable substitute for spinach.
When I got home and managed to look up the Greek name, I learned it was #amaranth. Then I learned about #horta, the mixed greens that yiayias pick from here and there, and which is commonly used wherever we might use spinach. Anyway, long story short, try amaranth in #spanakopita sometime, mixed with any and every other green, including chard, rocket, lettuce, chicory, dandelion, purslane, kale, nettles, etc etc. Just blanch the whole lot in salted water then squeeze it out and chop it up. You can also freeze it at this stage (I use silicone muffin pans to make 1/2 cup “hockey pucks” then store long-term in a freezer bag.) Finely chopped horta also makes excellent green rice (spanakorizo). #food #EatYourGreens #foraging #gardeningAU
