Best Recipe for Popeye's Spinach Pie
Ingredients
- 2 cups spelt white flour
- 3/4 teaspoon sea salt, divided
- 1/3 cup plus 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- 1–2 tablespoons water
- 1/2 cup chopped yellow onion
- 1/2 cup finely shredded red cabbage
- 1/2 cup chopped zucchini
- 8 cups (16 ounces) fresh baby spinach, washed and dried
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon dried marjoram
- 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried mustard powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon ground red pepper
- 1 large tomato, cut into 8 half-moon slices
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F.
- To prepare the crust, sift the flour and 1/4 teaspoon of the salt into a medium mixing bowl. Slowly pour in 1/3 cup of the oil while stirring to form a dough. Do not overmix or the dough will be too tough. Use up to 2 tablespoons of water to help form the dough.
- Gather the dough into a ball and lightly roll with a rolling pin until it reaches a 9-inch diameter. Press the rolled dough into a 9-inch pie plate. Poke the bottom of the crust all over with a fork. Set aside while preparing the filling.
- Heat a medium skillet over medium heat and add the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil and the onion. Sauté for 2 minutes, add the cabbage and zucchini, and sauté an additional 5 minutes. Add the spinach and sauté until wilted.
- Add the garlic, the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of salt, marjoram, basil, thyme, mustard, paprika, and pepper. Stir well to combine, and sauté for 1 minute.
- Pour the mixture into the prepared crust.
- Bake for 35 minutes.
- Remove pie from the oven and garnish with a ring of tomato slices.
