BOSNIAN PITA (PHYLLO PIE) WITH SPINACH FILLING
This is one of the most delicious dishes I have ever come across. It is special to me because it is my husband's favorite dish from his old country. My mother in law and his aunt, both from Bosnia, taught me how to make it, even though they do not speak much English. They even make their own dough, but making phyllo dough is very difficult and they assured me it is more than okay

Steps:
- WASH HANDS (This recipe requires you to work with the food directly with your hands).
- Preheat oven to 350.
- Wash and drain spinach.
- Chop spinach and put in a big glass bowl.
- Add salt and mix with hands.
- Leave the spinach to sit for about 10 minutes to allow the salt to draw out the water from the vegetable.
- The water in spinach will make the filling bitter so do not skip this step.
- Drain the spinach by either sqeezing it bit by bit with your hand over the sink or by spinning several times in a salad spinner.
- Transfer drained spinach into a new bowl.
- Add egg, and sour cream.
- Fold in feta and cheddar cheese.
- Put some olive oil in a small bowl.
- Grease a 9"*13" glass or metal baking pan.
- Take your phyllo dough sheets and lie the sheets, stacked, on a dry surface.
- TIP: (While adding the filling, you may wish to cover the dough with a dry towel and then a damp one to keep it from drying out or flaking) Place one sheet of dough into the pan and cut away excess.
- Brush with oil, using either your hands or a pastry brush.
- Repeat until dough is 6 or 7 layers.
- Add a skim of filling with hands and spread evenly.
- Repeat steps 16-18 until the pie reaches the top of the pan or you run out of ingredients.
- Just make sure you finish with the dough on top, sort of like lasagna.
- Place pie in the oven, uncovered, about 45 minutes.
- The top becomes flaky.
- Pour on top of the pie while it is baking, 1/4 cup sour cream blended with 0.125 cup of milk.
- Bake for 15 more minutes.
- This dish can be served warm or room temperature.
- It is traditionally served with a yogurt beverage which is easily replicated by mixing the plain yogurt with milk, in equal parts.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly oil a 9x9 inch square baking pan.
- Heat 3 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Saute onion, green onions and garlic, until soft and lightly browned. Stir in spinach and parsley, and continue to saute until spinach is limp, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
- In a medium bowl, mix together eggs, ricotta, and feta. Stir in spinach mixture. Lay 1 sheet of phyllo dough in prepared baking pan, and brush lightly with olive oil. Lay another sheet of phyllo dough on top, brush with olive oil, and repeat process with two more sheets of phyllo. The sheets will overlap the pan. Spread spinach and cheese mixture into pan and fold overhanging dough over filling. Brush with oil, then layer remaining 4 sheets of phyllo dough, brushing each with oil. Tuck overhanging dough into pan to seal filling.
- Bake in preheated oven for 30 to 40 minutes, until golden brown. Cut into squares and serve while hot.

Steps:
- In a medium pan, heat oil over medium-high. Add onion and cook until golden, about 4 minutes. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, 1 minute. Transfer to a large bowl.
- Return pan to heat. Working in batches, cook spinach, tossing, until wilted, about 1 minute. Drain spinach and let cool. Press out excess moisture, then roughly chop. Add spinach, feta, and raisins to bowl with onion and season filling with salt and pepper. (To store, refrigerate, up to 2 days.)
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Unroll phyllo. Place 1 sheet on a work surface (keep remaining sheets covered with a damp kitchen towel to prevent drying); brush with oil. Lay another sheet on top and brush with oil. Repeat until you have 10 layers of phyllo. Spread half of filling lengthwise down middle of phyllo stack. Roll into a log, brushing the seam with oil before sealing. Brush log with oil. Using a small sharp knife, make 8 diagonal cuts on top. Repeat with remaining phyllo and filling.
- Place logs, seam side down, on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake until deep golden brown, 45 to 50 minutes. Cut into slices along slashes. Serve warm or at room temperature.

- On a clean working surface, gently place a sheet of pastry and lightly brush with melted butter. Place another sheet on top and brush with butter. If you’re working with the Greek brand, use 4-5 sheets as they are much thinner.
- Spread ¼ of the filling, stopping at about 1 inch from the sides. Gently start folding/rolling the sheets. You could also place the sheets on a clean tablecloth and lift its end to get the sheets rolled. Pat a little water on the open ends so that you can fold them under the roll. Put the roll in a greased pan.
