Will Spanakpita (greek spinach&feta pie) turn out okay if I don't use spinach?

I agree with karen.

I hate spinach plain but love it when its in dishes like the one you are making. The cheese, the seaoning all change nasty old spinach into a very nice dish.

Well, if you don't use spinach it would actually be called a tyropita. Personally I wouldn't use anything else, but that's because I grew up eating just spanakopita. Try the cheese.

You could, but use the spinach. Chop it finely, don't use a huge amount, and you won't even taste it. I don't like cooked spinach but I love spanakopita. They're a good way to sneak spinach into your diet. It's good for you. You could use almost any other vegetable that you like, but don't use any that are very watery.

Spanakopita needs a big load of SPINACH to be called "spanakopita". (flavor of spinach? wtf?:D)

If u put only feta cheese(mixed with eggs) it's called "tiropita". Or else cheese-pie.

It won't be spanakopita without the Spinach. Kale might work as a substitute, I love Kale and think everything tastes better with it.

Materials: For the spinach & herb mixture: 4 kilos of fresh spinach, washed, trimmed, and chopped 2/three cup of olive oil 1 tremendous or 2 small spring onions, chopped 1 bunch of contemporary dill (not obligatory), stems removed, chopped 1/three cup of water ---------- For the pita: cooked spinach and herb combo (above) at room temperature 1 egg 2/three kilos of firm feta cheese 2 teaspoons of freshly floor pepper 2 tablespoons + 2 teaspoons of olive oil 1 pound of phyllo sheets 14 x 18 inches 2 tablespoons of water instruction: word: contrary to most directions (even my possess), the phyllo will also be taken out of the freezer to defrost 3 hours before utilising (go away package deal unopened at the same time defrosting). Day 1: put together the spinach and herbs Over medium warmth, sauté the onion (and fresh dill, if making use of) in olive oil in a significant soup or stew pot until soft. Add water and spinach and carry to a boil. Duvet, reduce heat to low and cook for 20 minutes, stirring once in a while. Put in a colander to drain. When cooled, duvet and proceed to empty within the fridge in a single day. Day 2: Make the pita take away spinach from the fridge and preserve within the colander over a bowl even as allowing it to reach room temperature. As constituents are brought, it's going to continue to empty. Preheat oven to 350F (175C). Beat the egg with a fork and add to the spinach. Collapse the cheese and add to the spinach, and toss with one or two forks until evenly allotted. Observe: If the feta cheese is simply too gentle to disintegrate with the aid of hand (if it begins to mush), put in a bowl and use the tines of a fork to make small portions, then add to spinach. Unroll the phyllo and count the sheets. Oil a pan measuring the equal or quite less than the phyllo sheets with 2 tablespoons of oil utilising a pastry brush. Lay 1/2 the phyllo in the pan, and fold in any overlap toward the core to fit the dough into the pan. Brush the top of the phyllo with 2 teaspoons of olive oil, masking it from aspect to side. Pour the spinach combo into the pan and use a fork to unfold it out evenly over the dough. Lay the opposite 1/2 of the phyllo sheets on top of the spinach, and fold within the overlap so the sheets match in the pan. Notice: To make a smooth prime that hides the folds of the dough, keep one sheet out of the top layer, and location it on high of the other sheets. Trim the perimeters with a scissors to fit the pan (now not performed here). With a sharp knife, cut into 20 portions, slicing the entire way by means of to the backside. Use your hand to sprinkle 2 tablespoons of water evenly over the top. Work with small amounts of water to distribute evenly. Do not contact the dough with moist palms. Bake at 340F (170C) for 30-40 minutes or until golden brown. Cut and serve.

You could use sauteed onion, chopped artichoke hearts, chopped broccoli, asparagus, arugula, broccoli rabe, but it wouldn't be spanakopita.

you could,just wouldn't be spanakopita anymore

you could use chopped onion and 2 cups of rice
