Spanakopita Rolls with Lemony Dip

Pin Recipe

All the goodness of classic spanakopita with way less fuss. I love spanakopita but one too many times have I had a big glob of piping hot spinach slap my chin. No more. My version avoids the fussy folding, and gives you even more layers of phyllo goodness with a perfectly balanced delivery of cheesy, garlicky, spinachy heaven. Chewy and flaky all at the same time.

And you know I must always dip for good measure, but these bad boys will absolutely stand up on their own if you feel like skipping the dip.

Pantry

8 phyllo sheets

12 oz spinach

2 shallots

5 cloves garlic

1 bunch fresh dill

1 tbsp parsley

1 lemon

Dairy

1 cup + 1 tbsp greek yogurt

200 grams feta

3/4 cup parm

1/4 cup butter

1 egg

Filling

2 tbsp olive oil

2 shallots

4 cloves garlic

12 oz spinach

1 tbsp greek yogurt

3/4 cup parm

200 grams feta

2 tbsp fresh dill

1 tbsp parsley

1 squirt lemon

1 egg

Lemony Sauce

1 cup greek yogurt

1 lemon

1 clove garlic

2 tbsp fresh dill

Pre Recipe Prep

Finely dice 2 shallots

Mince 5 cloves garlic

Finely chop all dill and parsley

Grate parm

Break feta into small pieces

Preheat oven to 400

1.

Make your filling

Warm 2tbsp olive oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Add 2 diced shallots with a big pinch of salt, and cook for about 5 minutes - until transluscent and starting to lightly brown.

Add spinach one handful at a time until fully wilted. Cook for about 10 minutes - you want allllll that liquid gone. If you can squeeze liquid, keep cooking.

In the last minute, add 1 clove of minced garlic. Remove from heat and add 2 tbsp dill, 1 tbsp parsley. Let cool for about 10 minutes.

Once cooled, add 3/4 cup parm, 200 g feta, 1 tbsp greek yogurt and 1 egg and mix well. Set aside.

2.

Prep your dough

Melt 1/4 cup butter. Roll out 1 layer of phyllo dough and brush lightly with butter. Repeat 8 times leaving a bit of butter for the end.

Spread your filling in a thin layer over your phyllo dough. Roll it up widthwise (have the shorter side of the dough facing you and roll away from you). Brush the outside of the roll with your remaining butter.

Slice into 1 inch pieces and place face down, spaced out, on a sheet pan. Bake for 30 minutes, flipping halfway.

3.

Make your sauce

While your rolls are baking, mix up your sauce. In a medium bowl, mix 1 cup greek yogurt, remaining lemon juice and zest, and remaining dill. Salt to taste and you're ready. Plate it up with lemon zest and fresh dill.
