A family recipe passed down through generations

Maurice’s spanakopita is the kind of recipe whose origins are woven into family memory. Passed down through his Greek heritage, this classic spinach pie balances two greens – tender spinach and hearty silverbeet – with sautéed onion and leek, fresh dill, and a blend of feta and ricotta for the perfect mix of tang and creaminess. A little rice is folded through the filling, a traditional technique that absorbs moisture and ensures the pastry stays crisp and golden.

Encased in layers of buttery pastry, the aroma of spinach, dill, and cheese fills the kitchen as it bakes. Maurice’s spanakopita makes a stunning vegetarian main for family dinners, gatherings, or mezze spreads. Serve it slightly warm with tzatziki and a Greek salad for an authentic table, or enjoy it cold the next day when the flavours have had time to deepen. From freezer to table in under an hour, this is Greek home cooking at its best.

"This is an all time family favourite and is enjoyed all year round. A recipe that has been in our family for generations, we don't really know how far back it goes it has just always been there. The smell wafting through the house as it bakes is such a warm and comforting feeling and smells delicious." Maurice
