My Persian-Greek Spinach Pie
When I was organizing a baby shower for my daughter in law, Anna, I decided to make spinach pies. A friend of mine had given me a recipe, I knew how he made it but no measures! I have now adjusted everything to my own taste and I am happy to say that the result was incredibly good.

I myself thought that I needed some crunchiness in the pie as well. Continue reading “My Persian-Greek Spinach Pie”

It is simply a mixture of onion and garlic, with the advantage that you will not smell garlic! Continue reading “Mast & Mosir! What a delight!”
