Ingredients :

2 cups flour 2 eggs 2 tablespoons Oil Salt and pepper to taste 2/3 cup frozen chopped spinach thawed 3 onions 1/2 pound ground meat 2 tablespoons breadcrumbs freshly ground nutmeg

Notes :

If you can’t eat all of the pockets that you produce using the recipe outlined below, you can freeze them and use them as needed. Also, you may be creative when it comes to the filling. Try a vegetarian version with pureed vegetables or hummus instead of the ground meat. Either way, you’ll need a blender or a food processor to speed up the process.

How to do :

1. Mix the flour, about 1/2 teaspoon salt, eggs, oil and 3 tablespoons of water and knead to a smooth dough.

Cover with a moist kitchen towel and let rise for 20 minutes at room temperature.

2. Peel and dice one onion.

3. Use a blender to mix spinach, the onion, ground meat, breadcrumbs, salt, pepper and nutmeg.

4. Take the dough and roll out rectangular pieces, as thin as possible. With the help of two teaspoons, spread the mixture bit by bit with some distance on the upper half of the dough. Coat the space in between with some water or egg so that everything can stick together later.

5. Fold the lower half over the upper part and press between the small heaps of filling.

6. Take a pastry wheel or a knife and cut pockets out of the dough and press the edges again.

7. Bring either salted water or vegetable stock to boil.

Let the pockets simmer at middle heat for about 10-15 minutes.
