Spanakopita is traditionally made with [phyllo | filo | fillo] dough, the sheets of very, very, very thin dough that you often brush with melted butter and then layer.

Good recipe Ali. I think the citrus helps knock down the spinach flavor, but I like spinach.

I now know what a cob loaf is, but have no idea what silverbeet is.

Interesting. I've always added some egg to my spanakopita variants, to hold it together. Perhaps I should try this eggless variant...

I sometimes use filo, but the butter content required for building the pastry usually puts me off when I can get low fat puff pastry. I don't find I need to put egg in if there's enough other moisture to hold it all together. I guess glatt might like it better if there was more egg though. lol

Just a side note, as I'm typing this, there's a short segment on things you can make with spinach!

sure thing UG. If you like you can do that. I'm pretty sure anyone who's interested has read this thread already though.
