Serves: 12

Prep: 1 ½ hours

Cook: 30 minutes

Ingredients:

Filling:

750g frozen spinach

3 tbs butter

5 cloves of garlic

½ tbsp salt

1 tsp pepper

200g full fat cream cheese

Dough:

400g flour + for dusting

100g lard

1 egg

½ tsp salt

150g natural yogurt

On the top:

1 egg

Preparation:

Filling: Put the spinach in a large pan and fry it on medium heat until its defrosted and “dry”. Warm up the butter on medium heat in a small pan, crush the garlic into the butter and fry it for 2 minutes. Season the spinach with salt and pepper, then add the garlic butter and the cream cheese. Mix it well.

Preheat the oven to 170 degrees Celsius, and line a (36cm x 28cm) baking tray with greaseproof paper.

Dough: Put the flour in a bowl, cut the lard into 1-2cm cubes and work the lard in until resembles crumbs. Add salt, egg and the yogurt and form it into a medium-hard dough. Cut it in half and roll it out (22cm wide, 50cm long and 0.3 cm deep).

Pour the filling onto the rolled out dough, fold in 2cm from each side, then roll it up and push it down a bit. Cut them into 3-4cm thick pieces. Put them into the lined pan, give them an egg wash and bake them for 30 min. When they are done put a tea towel over them and let them cool down.
