Kalitsounia with spinach and mizithra
Traditional recipe from Chania for (savoury) kalitsounia. They are usually made at Easter but they are vigorously consumed all year round, no matter how they are made (just with wild greens or with mizithra, fried or baked) they are extremely delicious.
Cooking instructions
* Step 1
Place the finely chopped spinach in a bowl with the onion, the spearmint, the fennel, the mizithra or anthotyro (whichever of the two you prefer, or both), salt, pepper and a bit of oil and combine to an even mix. Fill a plate with the mix that you have prepared and start.
* Step 2
Make the dough with the flour, the oil and the salt. Roll out the dough to a sheet that is not very thin.

* Step 4
Fold the two opposite corners of the pastry.
* Step 5
Do the same with the two remaining corners and press at the center of the kalitsouni lightly with your fingers to seal.

Bake in a preheated oven at 180-200°C for about 1 hour. Bon appétit!!
