Answer 3

SPANAKOPITA (SPINACH PIE)

2 lb. fresh spinach, finely chopped
3 bunches spring onions
4 tbsp. butter
6 eggs, slightly beaten
1 lb. feta cheese, crumbled
1/4 lb. butter, melted
1 tbsp. dry mint
Salt & pepper to taste
1/2 lb. butter for filo
20 sheets filo pastry

Wash spinach thoroughly, chop fine and let drain for several hours. It is very important that spinach be left to drain completely. Saute onions in the 4 tablespoons butter.
Mix beaten eggs with feta cheese, melted butter and mint. Add onions, salt and pepper. Line a 15 x 11 x 2 inch greased pan with half of filo sheets, brushing with melted butter (each sheet). Continue this until 1/2 of filo has been used.

Place cheese and spinach mixture over the filo and then cover with remaining half of sheets, brushing with melted butter again. Roll and tuck all the filo around the inside edges of pan. Lightly score top of spanakopita into squares and bake at 350 degrees for 55-60 minutes.

Answer 5

Barley rusks with olive oil is the easiest one (I prefer spanakopita, spinach pie but its more difficult)

4 barley rusks
8 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
2 large ripe tomatoes, deseeded and cut in small cubes
1 cup hard feta cheese, grated
salt
Moisten the rusks with cold water. Drizzle the olive oil over the top and let the rusks absorb it. Salt according to taste. Be especially careful if feta cheese is salty. Arrange the tomato cubes on the rusks. Sprinkle with grated feta cheese and serve.
