3 tbsp mint, finely chopped
3 tbsp dill, finely chopped
3 tbsp olive oil
120 gr feta cheese, crumbled

Directions
- For the dough
- In a mixing bowl, add all the ingredients and mix well with your fingers until you form a dough

- Cover with a clean kitchen towel and set aside for 20 min to rest
- For the filling
- In a pot over medium heat add the olive oil and the chopped leaks and green onions
- Mix for 3-4 min or until the start to soften
- Add the spinach, dill, mint and pepper and mix until the spinach is wilted
- Remove from the heat and add the feta cheese. Transfer to a bowl to cool it down for 5 min
- How to assemble
- Preheat your oven at 365F to line a baking sheet with parchment paper
- Roll the dough with your rolling pin and cut out circles with 3 inches diameter
- Place a couple of tbsp from the filling in the center of the circle, leaving about a finger of perimeter
- Damp your fingers in water and slightly cover the perimeter, this will react as a glue in the next step
- Cover with another dough circle and pinch the end to secure
- Place in your baking tray and bake for 30-35 min or until golden brown
Hi Mary, it is 1/2 a pound (around 250 gr) Thanks for the comment because I haven’t realized that the automatic tool had translated to 0.91 kg!
Would these freeze well if you make ahead?
Yes definitely!
