Notes
It is preferable to use ground kammoony spice. You can purchase ground kamouneh spice online.
Be sure to use my quick 10 minute dough recipe to make this recipe even easier!
When preparing the filling, squeeze out as much moisture from the spinach and onion as possible. If the spinach is watery, the pockets will pop open.
Once the filling has been combined, place it in a colander with a bowl underneath to help release any juice.
I can say, I can whip up spinach pie pockets any time I want for my family or guests because it is that easy! I use my special ten minute quick dough recipe, shape a large rectangular shape, quickly chop and mix the spinach stuffing, and bake for about 12 minutes! They are absolutely taste the same and are absolutely delicious!
