GREEK - Summer 2021 (Jul-Sept) Cuisine of the Quarter

You should squeeze out as much liquid as possible. My cousin and I disagree on the following approach, that is my friend’s mom’s approach to avoid sogginess- add rice.

My cousin now adds rice. I don’t.

My issue with frozen is that the egg and feta can’t get between the leaves of spinach. It’ll be a slightly slimier mouthfeel with frozen spinach, but many ppl are used to that, and some ppl like that. I would just buy good frozen burek or frozen spanakopita (at Greek stores, at TJ’s, at Canada’s Farm Boy, at Cdn Costco - some good frozen ones are imported from Greece, Macedonia and Bulgaria, my local Polish store also carries them) , rather than make a good burek or spanakopita with frozen spinach.

I only use frozen spinach for one thing: Knorr Spinach dip in a bread bowl.

This is a way I’d be more likely to use frozen spinach for this thread
