Ingredients
- 3 cups rough-chopped fresh spinach
- 1 cup small-diced yellow onion
- 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 1 tablespoon minced fresh dill
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground white pepper
- 8 wrappers, spring roll or pastry
- Cornstarch and water, mixed to a paste
- Tzatziki sauce, aioli or other sauce, for serving
Instructions
- Preheat a deep fryer to 350 degrees F.
- In a bowl, blend the spinach, onions, feta cheese, dill, salt and pepper, mixing well and crumbling the feta during the process.
- To build the rolls, in the center portion of each wrapper, add a tablespoon of filling. Then trace the cornstarch paste around the edges of the wrapper. To seal, fold the bottom tip over the filling, and then bring the left and right sides into the center. To finish, simply roll to bring the top until the roll is closed.
- Drop the spanakopita rolls into the fryer. Lower them slowly into the oil so they set. Once crisp, after about 2 minutes, remove from the fryer. Remember they will continue to cook two shades darker. Put on paper towels to absorb the grease.
- Season the eggrolls and serve with tzatziki sauce, aioli or other sauce.

I am Indian and these America dishes are wonderful. I made at home and my family loved it. It so simple to make it. Thanx chef robert.
OMG! what a pleasant surprise. I love Spanakopitas but what a twist this is absolutely delicious! This will be part of my hors d’oeuvres for my parties. It’s was so simple plus ingredients I already had. Chef Robert Irvine has done it again! Thank you Chef Robert!

Delicious! Made these for a family get-together. This was the only empty dish there, Very easy to make. I will definitely make it again.
Watched the episode and being a lover of Greek cuisine, had to have a go at this recipe. Super simple to put together and cook, and beyond scrumptious. Best of all, you can eat a bunch of them and not feel overstuffed! A win-win all around. I will be making these again to wow family and friends.
