Spinach Carré [car-rae] Recipe

Preparation Instructions

1. 1

   Sauté the Vegetables

   In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, and sauté until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the fresh spinach and cook until wilted, about 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.

2. 2

   Prepare the Filling

   In a mixing bowl, combine the sautéed spinach mixture with crumbled feta cheese. Mix well to incorporate all ingredients.

3. 3

   Assemble the Carré

   Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Roll out the puff pastry sheets on a lightly floured surface. Cut each sheet into a rectangle, about 10x6 inches. Place a portion of the spinach and feta mixture in the center of each rectangle, leaving space around the edges. Fold the pastry over to form a rectangle and seal the edges by crimping with a fork.

4. 4

   Bake the Carré

   Place the assembled carré on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush the tops with the beaten egg. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown and puffed.

5. 5

   Serve

   Remove from the oven, let cool for a few minutes, then cut into squares and serve warm.
