It’s a great way to incorporate leafy greens, starchy vegetables, and meat into one dish, providing a complete meal in itself. In this article, we will guide you through the process of preparing spinach and potato pie step-by-step.

Ingredients:

– 2 Large Potatoes
– 1 Onion
– 2-3 cloves of garlic
– 2 bunches of Spinach
– 1 lb. lean ground meat (lamb or beef is ideal)
– 1 teaspoon of salt
– 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
– 1/2 teaspoon of cumin powder
– 1/2 teaspoon of ginger powder
– 2 tablespoons of olive oil
– 1/4 cup of plain yogurt
– 2 eggs
– 1 tablespoon of flour (for dusting)
– Butter (for greasing)
– Pastry dough

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 180C/350F. Peel and thinly slice the potatoes, then boil for 5-7 minutes until soft but not mushy. Drain and set aside.

2. Finely chop the onion and garlic cloves. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a pan over medium heat, then add the chopped onion and garlic. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until the onion turns translucent.

3. Add the ground meat to the pan and stir well. Cook for 5-7 minutes, breaking up clumps of meat with a spoon until the meat is browned throughout. Add salt, black pepper, cumin powder, and ginger powder, and mix well.

4. Remove the meat and onion mixture from the heat, let it cool for 5 minutes, then add 1/4 cup of plain yogurt and 2 eggs. Mix well until everything is combined.

5. Wash the spinach thoroughly, removing any tough stems and large leaves. Blanch the spinach in boiling water for 30 seconds, then immediately transfer to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. Drain and squeeze the spinach to remove excess water. Chop spinach leaves finely.

6. Roll out the pastry dough on a floured surface to 1/8 inch thickness. Grease a pie dish with butter. Carefully lay the rolled-out dough into the pie dish, pressing it gently into the corners. Trim off the excess dough around the edges.

7. Arrange the potato slices evenly and tightly at the bottom of the pie crust, overlapping them slightly.

8. Spread a layer of chopped spinach leaves on top of the potatoes.

9. Pour the meat and onion mixture over the spinach, spreading it evenly with a spatula.

10. Add another layer of spinach leaves on top of the meat mixture.

11. Fold the overhanging pastry edges inward toward the center of the pie, crimping the edges as you go.

12. Brush the top of the pie with some beaten egg to give a golden-brown color when baked.

13. Bake the pie for 30-35 minutes until the top crust is golden brown and the filling is piping hot.

14. Let the pie cool for at least 5-10 minutes before serving.
