Hommus Tahini Baba Ghannouge Tahini Sauce (for Falafel) Spinach Beurek Cheese Beurek Stuffed Grape Leaves Orouk Basmati Rice

(Serves 10)

Filling: Dough:
1 small onion, minced 1 pound Indo-European filo dough
3 tablespoons corn oil 1/2 pound clarified butter or Indo-European's ready Butter Ghee
2 packages (10 oz each) frozen, chopped spinach, thawed and drained  
1 pound Feta cheese, rinsed and crumbled  
3 eggs, lightly beaten  
1 cup minced parsley  

***

  1. To prepare the filling, in a heavy skillet sauté the onion and heated corn oil until soft but not browned. Stir in the spinach and sauté for ten to fifteen minutes longer. Cool. Add the cheese, eggs, and parsley and mix well. Set aside.
  2. Brush a 13x18 inch baking pan with some of the butter. Layer with two sheets of dough, folding in the edges. Brush with butter. Repeat the process, buttering every other layer, until you have used about eight sheets of half of the dough. Spread the filling evenly over the layers. Then repeat layering and buttering every second layer until you have used up all the dough. Brush the top layer with butter. Cut the beurek into three inch squares. Bake at 350 degrees for about twenty-five minutes or until golden brown. Serve warm.
