Description
Enjoy the classic flavors of spanakopita in a quick and easy rice paper wrapper for a new twist on a favorite Greek appetizer.
Ingredients
– 12 sheets rice paper wrappers
– 10 ounces fresh spinach, chopped
– 8 ounces crumbled feta cheese
– 1/4 cup chopped green onions
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 teaspoon dried dill
– 1/4 teaspoon salt
– 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
1. In a medium bowl, combine the chopped spinach, feta cheese, green onions, garlic, dill, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
2. Fill a shallow bowl or plate with warm water. Working with one rice paper wrapper at a time, dip it into the water for 5-10 seconds until softened.
3. Transfer the softened wrapper to a clean surface. Place 2-3 tablespoons of the spinach-feta mixture in the center of the wrapper. Fold the bottom edge over the filling, then fold in the sides and roll up tightly to form a triangle.
4. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Working in batches, add the rice paper spanakopita triangles and cook for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy.
5. Serve the rice paper spanakopita warm, with a side of tzatziki sauce or your favorite dipping sauce.
Notes
For a heartier dish, you can add cooked chicken or shrimp to the spinach-feta filling. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
