Jiddo's Fatayer Sabanegh is a classic Mediterranean pastry stuffed with spinach and aromatic spices. It is a popular vegetarian appetizer that is commonly served in Lebanese, Syrian, and Palestinian cuisines. Traditionally baked in a wood-fired oven or a saj with fire from the bottom, this recipe has been modified for easier baking at home. These triangles make a healthy snack or side dish that can be enjoyed hot or cold.

Instructions

1.Dissolve sugar and yeast in a 1/4 cup of warm water, let it sit for 5 minutes until yeast is activated.
2.In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, salt, and olive oil. Add the activated yeast water and remaining water and mix until everything is well combined.
3.Knead the dough for about 5 minutes until it becomes soft and smooth. Place the dough in a bowl covered with a damp towel and let it rise for 1 hour.
4.While the dough is rising, prepare the filling. Sauté onions and garlic in a large pan until fragrant. Add spinach, basil, mint, lemon juice, and garlic salt to the pan and cook until spinach is wilted. Remove from heat.
5.Preheat the oven to 350°F. Cut the dough into small pieces and roll each piece into a circle. Add 1-2 tablespoons of filling to each circle and fold into a triangle shape. Pinch the edges to seal.
6.Place the triangles onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
