They shared recipes inspired by the Winter Markets. Check them out below.
Spinach Pie Triangles
Ingredients
1/4 cup olive oil
2 medium onions, chopped small
4 cloves garlic, minced
Salt and pepper
2 # assorted chopped greens-collards, kale, chard, wilted, cooled and squeezed dry OR 3 packages frozen chopped spinach (10 ounces) thawed and squeezed dry
12 oz. feta cheese
1/4 cup grated parmesan
4 eggs, beaten
1/4 cup fresh dill, minced or 1 Tablespoon dry dill
4 ounces frozen phyllo sheets, thawed
1/2 cup melted butter or olive oil for brushing-set aside
Instructions. Pre heat oven to 375
1 Make the filling: In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons oil over medium-high heat. Add onions, and cook, stirring occasionally, until translucent, 3 to 5 minutes. Add garlic, dill and 1 teaspoons salt; cook until garlic is tender, 1 to 2 minutes.
2 Transfer mixture to a large bowl; stir in greens/spinach, feta, Parmesan, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Add eggs and mix until combined well.
3 Unroll phyllo dough, and cut lengthwise into 3 or 4 equal strips (about 3 inches wide)
4 Brush with oil/butter
5 Place about 2 Tablespoons of filling on one end of a phyllo strip. Fold in a triangle shape over the filling and continue to fold (like the old paper footballs) until the whole phyllo strip is used up and the entire triangle is folded. Brush top with oil/butter and sprinkle with dill or thyme
6 Place completed triangles on oiled or lined baking pan. When pan is full, bake for 18-22 minutes or until evenly browned
