- 8 oz frozen spinach
- olive oil
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- 2 tbsp sumac
- 2 tbsp pomegranate molasses
- a pinch salt
- 1 sheet puff pastry
- 1 tbsp butter melted
Instructions
- Thaw 1 sheet of puff pastry at room temperature, and thaw the frozen spinach.
- Saute the onions with some olive oil until transluscent, then set aside to cool for a bit.
- Squeeze out the thawed spinach to remove all the excess water from it. Chop it up if needed.
- Preheat the oven to 400 F (200 C).
- In a small bowl, prepare the filling: mix together the spinach, onions, sumac, molasses, lemon juice, olive oil, and salt.
- Roll out the thawed pastry, and cut into 9 squares. Spoon the mixture onto the squares. Bring the four square corners into the middle, then press along the edges to close them. Brush the top with melted butter.
- Bake in the oven for 20 minutes, or until golden. You can broil for a few minutes at the end to get more color. Allow to cool for a bit before serving.
