Spanakopita

Spanakopita is a little greek pasty made with filo pastry. I've never met anyone who made their own filo, it is perfectly acceptable to buy it ready made. It needs a lot of butter!
I used feta cheese, but I've made this with ricotta too, onions, garlic, parsley and steamed leaf beet or spinach. After that simple mixture, its all about the construction. Leave them in a hot oven for 12 to 15 minutes. I'm going to try freezing the few leftover uncooked ones so I can get one or two out for a quick supper from time to time.

Hi Kate. I love Spanakopita, and yours looks yummy. I am also so in love with your Indigo dyed quilt top. Love your little channel at The Last Homely House East of the Sea. I feel so calm when I watch your videos. Take Care Sarah.

[@mariecurrie7657]

I love spanakopita! Like some other commentors, I make mine in a rectangular pan, but when I saw you lifting them, golden & crispy off of the baking tray, I made a lightning quick reassessment of my old technique. Never again will I serve a traybake style spanakopita! Thank you Kate.

[@thelasthomelyhouse]

Marie Currie it’s so easy too, and the left overs (if there are any) are easier to store and eat next day for lunch with a bit of salad. Mmmmm 😊❤️🍂

[@carolcurtis2220]

Hi Kate. I make this quite often by do put eggs in the filling. It seems to make it a lot lighter. I also make it in a pie dish with pastry sheets on top and bottom. Before I bake the pie I slice it up in the dish to make it easier to serve. Enjoy your family visit👍🏻👏🏻

[@deenawatts3257]

I usually make it in a 9×13 pan, sort of like lasagna. The triangles look delicious and far more practical since they can be frozen. That's what I'll do next time!! Yummmm.

[@thelasthomelyhouse]

Deena Watts I’ve heard of the ‘lasagne’ way of making it, but these - as you say - are more practical. And more butter probably 🙄😂😊

[@rhondava2nc2010]

Lived in Greece 1 year just outside Athens! Love the spanakopita, tiropita, fresh breads... everything really

[@annettewhitbeck6072]

Such an easy recipe to make. You wouldn't think it would be. Love your fabric. I would love to dye fabric. But I doubt that I ever would. I watched you do it and it very involved. Have a great visit with your brother and your family.

[@thelasthomelyhouse]

annette whitbeck oh, don’t be put off by the dyeing - it’s very easy, you just need to be a bit prepared. Indigo is quite different from other dyeing, which is easier again! Next summer I’ll do some more dye experiments, it’s an outdoor activity 😊❤️🍂

[@cynforrest]

You handle that pastry brush like a real pro! It was fun watching you assemble your folded triangles (this is what o call them when I can’t remember the Greek word. Lol). Looks tasty. TFS, Kate! As always a very interesting vid. I’m in LOVE with the Indigo squares on your wall!!!

[@thelasthomelyhouse]

Cyn Forest the indigo squares will get their day, but not just yet as there are about a dozen things in my head........ nothing new there then .... but there is no hurry. I really like a slow repetitive task when I have time to devote to it. 😊❤️🍂

[@heatherfoley4945]

You've done it again! Sharing a meal with family is wonderful. Your indigo curtains with be beautiful! Bring on the rainy days :)

[@thelasthomelyhouse]

heather foley well, I’ve got one today, but the house looks like a tornado went through, so no sewing for me today! 🙄😂😊

[@aikitherese]

Now I want to come to your house for supper!! That looked so cozy and amazing. Thanks for sharing this process. For some reason I've always felt intimidated by filo, but no more! I'm getting ideas for al kinds of savory veggie fillings.

[@thelasthomelyhouse]

aikitherese it’s the easiest thing in the world , if you can get over the amount of butter you need! And you don’t let the sheets-in-waiting dry out. You can fill it with ANYTHING, 😊❤️🍂

[@terrysheehan9831]

Hello Kate! This brought back memories for me. I used to make spanikopita for parties and holidays ( just made them smaller so they were a 1 - 2 bite size. I've also used this recipe and method to make a pie. Layer 5-6 sheets of the leaves in a pie pan, pop in the filling and top with more of the filo dough and bake. Delish! Now I think I need to try it again. It's been too long.

[@rebeccajourney3183]

I love spannakopita but have never seen it made that way! Brilliant! Now I'm going to try it! And yes, wrap well and freeze!! I would most likely add mushrooms and garlic!

[@candacenagle505]

That was a lovely video! And great to see a bit of your family. I think I will do this with my 10 year old grandson and make an apple filling...top with some vanilla ice cream!

[@thelasthomelyhouse]

[@user-pp5ri9dq4y]

[@ruthsmith2434]

You are a joy to watch. I noticed the white handled knife on your right side. My parents had some that looked like that. The four children divided them up after my mother died, so I still have one. Made of an early plastic I guess.

[@julie3935]

I watched todays update and then youtube carried on to this old video Those were the days when we could have people over for dinner! As you know I usually watch while making dinner for my troops (6 is a lot of people to keep feeding during this lockdown) and funnily enough I was chopping up a butternut pumpkin and extracting the seeds to roast for some soup for tomorrows lunch. Hope you feel better soon, take care xx

[@ellemm]

Yum! I love spanakopita. Kitchen shears make the spinach chopping easier for me. Alas, phyllo is very hard to find where I am now in Asia. Also, I’m way late, but hope it was a joyful dinner. ❤️

[@iansloan4261]

Those look absolutely perfect! We've never made them here at home but have enjoyed them often in Greektown which is an area in Detroit full of restaurants and shops that offer foods and items from that part of the world. Bakeries sell them also there. Making them at home would be fun and something to try!

[@thelasthomelyhouse]

Ian Sloan and so easy, with a resource like that on your doorstep you’d find packs of filo easily, and you can put anything you like inside. Have a go! 😊❤️😂🍂

[@marcychervenak6488]

My sister is coming to visit on October 24, I think I will have to make this, as feta is her favorite cheese. Thank you for sharing.

[@gwynwellliver4489]

Yummo! It's not a meal at our Greek friend's home without spanikopita. The indigo curtains will look really wild when they are finished. I hope you had a lovely meal!

[@ellenw391]

Those looked fabulous!!! Hint: in the future, freeze the ones you don't need that day uncooked. Then cook them per meal. They freeze beautifully. My 3 college roommates/suitemates were 1st gen Greek. To this day, decades later, 2 remain more family than friends. In my downstairs freezer are lovely, frozen pita's (just cheese minus the spinach, same shape) raw and ready to be baked, from one friend's Mom. I get a few big batches a year. Ironically just tonight I had a store bought Greek feta/other cheese blend phyllo spiral with eggplant spread from Russia sort of as a dip (that stuff is SOO amazing...do you have any Russian stores there? Though you can make your own). They go magnificently together. I save the legit ones for special treats lolol. Plus my friend's Mom, while amazingly active for her age, is slowing down a bit, so I make them last as long as possible! Hope you had a lovely dinner party!

[@thelasthomelyhouse]

Ellen W hi Ellen. I did in fact freeze six uncooked ones for just that purpose. Russian food is practically unknown to me, so I’ll have to look that one up! 😊❤️🍂

[@ellenw391]

Hi! If you like eggplant you have GOT to check it out. The brand I buy at the Russian store is Eggplant Spread by Garden Made. It is one of the few products I've ever had that literally taste home made. Mind you, it's imported, there are no preservatives, only real veggies & it WILL go bad in 3 days (had a teensy bit left the 1st time, since the writing on the label was so small I didn't notice it...they told the truth lolol). There are many recipes online to make your own. Google Eggplant spread with or without adding "Russian Caviar." That is it's Russian nickname. I have not tried this one (or ever made from scratch...I live in HELLISH chronic pain, so sadly the less kitchen time the better lately, which kills me, as I adore cooking :(. Anyway this one looks/sounds the closest to the one I eat. But google others too & explore! It's amazing to use as a side dipping dish to any Pita or Spanokopita, or just spread on a nice toasted french bread! thenewbaguette.com/2014/03/06/russian-roasted-eggplant-spread-ikra/

[@ellenw391]

Kate, forgot to add, if there is any food that tastes this delish & you would think should be fattening, but is SUPER low in calories, I've yet to find it!! I literally buy them 8 to 10 jars at a time now. If you happen to find a Russian store near you, let me know if you want some other suggestions, although this is, by far, the most amazing find I've had there! But from what I've seen of you, why do I think you'd choose to make it from scratch?! Also some of the recipes I looked through were VERY chunky. You want it softer than that. Not mush, there are clearly small, individual bits over varying veggies. BUT it is far less like a ratatouille and more like a thick spread.

[@christong9868]

Delicious, you are making me hungry!

[@suehatfield1230]

Gosh, how have I not found your site earlier - I am now binge watching all of your tutorials and it makes for super company ☺️.

If - no - when you call in to see them, tell Terry that you came via the Last Homely House because that would make my YEAR! And say a big HI to all of them from me, Kate xxxxxxxxxxxxx

[@annettewhitbeck6072]

You are so lucky to live so close. I'm jealous.

[@nywvblue]

Kate, not a believer in coincidences, I keep asking myself, "What does it mean..." I found your channel when it was late winter here this year and just thrilled: you do all the things (and *so many more* ) that I do here. (I do them on a MUCH smaller scale.) My garden, love of fabric and paper, quilt tops, knitting projects, time in the kitchen cooking and canning, seed saving & packaging them (I thought I was the only one! I'm obsessed with it - seeds are drying everywhere), and the kitties roaming in and out of my life form the highlight of my days. My grandparents, father's side, were British and took part in raising me until I started school, so my fondness for all things English runs deep. And there you appear, like a long-lost sister or favorite aunt or dream mentor...and *then* I find that the chocolate shop that has touched your heart is within bicycling distance from me, for Pete's sake. I definitely will stop by their store and say that Kate sent me. When I figure out what it all means, I will let you know! *xoxo*

[@thelasthomelyhouse]

nywvblue so, quite simply, you and I are on the same wavelength and you get to go and see my favourite American family when I can’t. You can give them the real life love I can’t! You’re right, there are no coincidences and many of the people I would be friends with around the world are finding me here. It’s lovely! Xxxxxxx

Hello Kate, simple: We all come to a cooking class and bake your delicious Spinakopita. The first time you have to always make them under a supervision, so that nothing goes wrong. You have enough space !!!! You can also email everyone with the ingredients he should bring. No problem. So, we just have to find a suitable date. I have never tried this recipe myself, but have already been able to taste many samples of filo pastry from Turkish colleagues. Let's do a Greek cooking class with Kate. Who is participating? Hahahah ........ I definitely go with it. Claudia

Spinach.... well you get the idea don't you. 😉 Never made these so I think I will have to try of course. That was a really nice dinner on your table. 😋 mouthwatering. You also had another video person at the end. 😉 always nice a helping hand. Okay now I'm going to add some things to my shopping list. Thanks Kate. 😉💕xxx

[@thelasthomelyhouse]

Sandra Oranje that was my daughter in law with the camera at the end, that is my son and the big beardy guy who is obsessed with football is my big brother. I hardly ever see him, so it was great. Xxxxx sorry for your expanding shopping list 😉😊❤️

[@ellenw391]

Sandra Oranje there is a very popular Greek pita that is made quite similarly to spanokopita but with NO spinach. I'd bet that would be a winner for you!! I like spinach, but still prefer a cheese pita, because sometimes the spinach can add a bit of a bitter taste to it. Plus the cheese ones puff up more! OMG so good now I'm starving! ETA if you want to find it either Google Greek Cheese Pita or Tiropita. I would offer one of my dearest friend's Mom's recipe for it, which is the best I've ever had, but she has NO recipe. She throws, like most good cooks. I keep swearing to go there one day & stand behind her and measure, cause that is a recipe I desperately want. She keeps me pretty well stocked thankfully, but she's getting a bit older & slowing down some, and none of her kids can cook (just pathetic lolol), so one of us has to learn this!!! I've long been as much family as a friend, so hope to do this. Although my friend, her daughter, tried once & got tossed out of the kitchen. But in fairness, I'm a much better cook so I might last longer lolol

[@SandraOranje]

[@thelasthomelyhouse]

Angela10226 ahh, I’m with you! I have three kids, Owens girlfriend is Rita, her mum has the flying goose quilt, my d-in-law Anna is making the other quilt. It’s going slow because she wants to make it with my assistance. The quilt top is sewn together now, next session, we’ll do the ‘sandwich ‘ then she and I are going to hand quilt it. My daughter and I just made a baby quilt for her friend who is due in November. I have two brothers, I’m not doing any quilting for any of that lot at the moment ! 😂😂😂

[@Angela10226]

Sometimes we should go with our gut, I was going to say Anna and for some reason I talked myself into calling her Rita and I know that she is the girlfriend. Oh well I'm glad that Anna is coming along with it. It will be so special for her mum. I'll send you one to bind since you love doing it so much and you can send me one to quilt for you by machine.

[@GardenNoviceFarm]

Are you saying that plant is “leaf beet”? If so is that the official name? I can’t find seed for it in the US.

[@rebeccafoust2963]

I had the same question... I went searching. ...Leaf Beet Group consists of a number of different cultivars of Beta vulgaris which are grown for harvest of leafy vegetables (mostly chard and beet spinach). so far, the only other thing I find is talking about beet greens. Kate has talked about beet tops as a different plant from leaf beet, if my memory serves. Kate will be able to let us know if this is correct. www.missouribotanicalgarden.org/PlantFinder/PlantFinderDetails.aspx?taxonid=364081

[@thelasthomelyhouse]

Garden Novice Farm I just know it as leaf beet but you can also search for perpetual spinach ... because I think it’s that. The stuff we buy in supermarkets called ‘spinach’ is not the traditional spinach, but this stuff - that I know as leaf beet. I’m going to check my seed packet, but I’m pretty sure it’s perpetual spinach 🤔🌿
