Recipe for: Spinach Pie
From the Kitchen Of: Ida Shared by: Ida, her daughter This recipe was requested by John, who remembered a wonderful spinach pie that Aunt Ida used to make. Idie has written it out for us below - so everyone give it a try and enjoy! Santomasso Family (or my version of!) Spinach Pie NB: There are no amounts you just have to figure out how many you want to make. I would guess 1 lb of dough 4 pkg of Spinach ( see below)*. Ingredients -Dough (home made or buy dough from baker/pizza maker) -Spinach-defrosted & drained (use chopped frozen spinach on strict orders from Aunt Theresa! I have used fresh and chopped it myself, but I defaulted to her and it's easier!) -Black Olives -Anchovies (optional according to taste. Kids don't usually like it, so as kids some were made without it and I do the same ;) -Olive Oil Method -Preheat oven to 350* -Divide dough into equal pieces to make about 4 individual pies or 2 larger ones -Carefully squeeze water out of spinach -Combine spinach, olives, anchovies (if using), olive oil, salt & pepper -Flatten & stretch pizza dough into large circle -Place spinach mixture over one half leaving enough dough for sealing edge -Fold over into half-moon shape & pinch edges together to seal -Lightly brush top with olive oil -Bake on parchment or foil lined cookie sheet 30-35 minutes or until golden brown

Thanks, Idie, I'm looking forward to making them and I'll be thinking of your mother as I do. Incidently, with anchovies was my favorite, even as a kid.
