My Yiayia was from Istanbul, Turkey and made incredible Greek food. Her spanakopita was made with fresh baby spinach, fresh leeks, scallions, parsley, carmelized onions, and mint. She never sautéed the spinach, but rather placed the leaves on a baking sheet & placed in oven and warmed the spinach until the leaves would wilt, then she dabbed the spinach with paper towels removed from oven. She only sautéed all other ingredients and assembled the pita. She never used butter or olive oil, only ghee. She basted each piece of phyllo with ghee. She lightly added salt, pepper, and sumac. She then scored the pita into diamonds like Baklava. The oven was set at 375 for 40 minutes to make sure the phyllis was golden. She would remove it and let it rest on the counter until it was still warm, but not hot. It was delicious! She never used feta cheese, or eggs. It was an old recipe of Constantinopolitan Greeks from the once famous and affluent Greek Phanariot Community. Yiayia lived to be 96 years old! Love you & miss you Yiayia!

Thank you for sharing your special memory of your Yiayia and her ancestral recipe . That’s interesting . I will save it to try one day 🥰 .

[@shihlin1]

Greek food is so underrated bc they don't show enough of their dishes on national TV as compared to, say, Italian or Chinese food. Next time, Martha, show how to make Baklava ! Yum !

[@Benyikoko]

Great episode! Martha and the greek lady have great chemistry! I used to work with a greek woman and she was exactly the same. Friendly but firm. Strict but nice... i love their sense of humor. ! Will definitely make this for my mom

My Yia Yia would haunt me for using frozen spinach. Yuch. Soggy

[@zarazara665]

What's yia yia? Lol

[@riasomers642]

queeni jay It's Greek for grandmom.

[@davondd]

mean grandma, most languages from the area uses similar terms for grands and parents. but frozen spinach is cool to. use IF you drain and cook it is not going to be soggy. some areas in Greece dont cook the filling prior to baking its then you dont want to use frozen

[@josephineroe8424]

You have to squeeze all the water put if you use frozen.

[@rosariolongoria7604]

Dill??? Italian man instead of the greek ones??? Was she smoking the spinach Dragon???😱😂😂😂

[@electra1920]

Hai capito male. Ma quandi anni hai?

[@petetsaggaris5163]

I guess she don't like GPS. That is Greek potion system for those who wonder.

[@telosfd]

It is true my dear, that the Italians were eating all kinds of "fruits".

[@priyatn24]

Love watching this recipe. The convo is so embarrassing .. especially when she explains some 'phylo'sophy on life and Martha just ignores her

[@cindyfrench3451]

Martha Stewart is the worst when it comes to conversing with her guests. I liked her show better when she was the only guest!

[@cindyfrench3451]

Martha is the worst for conversing with her guests list. I liked her show better when she was the only guest, LOL!

[@emilyalcorn3547]

[@fallenemo29]

Lovly recipe I'm gonna try it soon but omg that lady was doing a poor job at the mixing and stirring, it was pissing me off

[@stndrds79]

fallenemo29 I know don’t understand why

[@patriciaromanowski7100]

fallenemo29 I think because she was talking to much and lost focus! 🙁

[@karmendemirchyan3147]

I guess all yiayias made it slightly different.

[@TheNlograsso]

Never, ever had dill in spanakopita. She lost me.

[@snowcloud06]

My Greek mother in law always used dill in spanikopita and tiropetes.

[@josephineroe8424]

Try it.

[@Oohmyymiaa]

Dill is a staple in spanakopita.

[@brt7721]

In Greece we use it all the time and in many American Greek authentic restaurants too

[@sharonsolana]

I never had dill in spanekopeta either, until I did. I won't go back, it's fabulous! (I'm not sure about this recipe though.)

[@zackpapazahariou6557]

Greek men better! Your recipe is so-so. My mother made it better.
