I came across this recipe at Epicurious and I can not wait to try it. I think it is the dill flavor that appeals to me, so Spring-like. This spinach pie would be wonderful served at brunch as a main dish with a simple vinaigrette-dressed green salad -or- it could be prepared as a side dish and be served with broiled lamb chops.
Ingredients:
1 medium onion, finely chopped
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 (10-ounce) packages frozen chopped spinach, thawed
1/3 cup plus 2 tablespoons chopped dill, divided
1 (16-ounce) container cottage cheese
2 cups whole milk
3 large eggs
1/4 teaspoon grated nutmeg
6 ounces feta, crumbled (1 1/2 cups), divided
6 matzos (about 6 inches square)
Method:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F – place the rack in the middle of the oven before it gets hot!
- In a heavy skillet over medium heat, saute the onion in oil. Stir occasionally, until golden, 12 to 15 minutes.
- Put spinach in a sieve and press out as much liquid as possible. If you do not have a sieve, you can also simply squish the water out of the spinach with your bare hands over a colander in the sink.
- Add spinach to onion and cook, and saute for about 5 minutes.
- Remove from heat and stir in 1/3 cup dill, 3/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper.
- Purée cottage cheese in a blender with milk, eggs, nutmeg, and 1/2 teaspoon each of salt and pepper until smooth.
- ***Reserve 2 cups in a bowl*** Stir the remainder into spinach with 1 cup feta.
- Stack matzos in a deep dish and pour reserved cottage-cheese mixture over them. Let stand for 15 minutes to soften.
- Arrange 2 soaked matzos side by side in a generously oiled 13x9x2 inch pyrex baking dish.
- Pour in half of spinach filling.
- Cover with 2 more matzos, then pour in remaining filling.
- Put remaining 2 matzos on top and pour any remaining cottage-cheese mixture over them.
- Sprinkle with remaining 1/2 cup feta.
- Bake, uncovered, until golden (the mixture will be firm) about 30 to 35 minutes. Cool 10 minutes.
- Sprinkle with remaining 2 tablespoons dill and serve.
