It feels like spring!

On such a lovely spring day like today I can only think of my favorite spring cuisine, Greek food! The light freshness of it, the salty bite, roasted meats! Everything about it screams spring! Here's a few recipies for the coming spring.

THE FOOD

Herb Spanakopita

1 package frozen Filo dough (40 sheets I think)
8 oz feta cheese
6 green onions, chopped
1 white onion, small dice
4 eggs
either 8 oz frozen spinach or 2 lbs fresh spinach, rough chopped, sauted
3 cloves garlic rough chop
1 bunch fresh parsley, fine chopped
1 lb butter

Using a strainer press out any liquid in the spinach. Mix the eggs, feta, and spinach in a large mixing bowl. Gently sauté the white onion and garlic until the onions are soft. Allow to cool and mix in with the feta along with the parsley and green onions. Melt the butter in a pan and set aside a pastry brush for it. Lay out the Filo sheets and get ready to start rolling fast! Filo doesn't hold well outside it's packaging and will start to crack if you don't work fast. You can make yours any shape you want, but I normally roll aboust a 8 oz portion into two pieces of dough. Put the mixture in the top center of the dough, paint butter everywhere that the cheese mixture isn't, fold the two sides in on themselves. Paint more butter on the dough, then roll it up into a vaguely burrito like shape.

Once all of them are rolled, coat them in more butter and bake at 350 until golden brown, roughly 15-20 min
