01
Step 1
Start by tossing the chopped spinach with a pinch of salt in a bowl. Give it a good stir for about a minute until the spinach softens and starts to release some juice. In another bowl, do the same with the chopped onion and a pinch of salt, stirring until it wilts a bit. Then add the spinach, olive oil, sumac, pine nuts, lemon juice, and pepper to the onions and mix everything together. Let the filling rest for about 5 minutes, then drain off any excess liquid.

Step 2
Melt the butter gently in a small pan and set it aside. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Take a phyllo sheet and lay it flat, brushing it lightly with melted butter. Place another sheet on top and brush that with butter too. Cut this double layer into strips about 3 ½ inches wide and 13 inches long. Keep the strips covered with a damp cloth while you work so they don’t dry out.

Step 3
Now for the folding: Spoon about a tablespoon of filling at the top corner of a strip. Fold the corner over to form a triangle pocket, then keep folding the triangle down the strip, like folding a flag, until you reach the end. This should give you a neat little triangle filled with spinach. Repeat until you’ve used all the filling and strips.

Step 4
Place the triangles on your baking sheet and brush them with more melted butter. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until they turn a lovely golden brown. Enjoy!
