Spanakopita: Difficult to spell, but delicious to taste. We've based this tart on the Grecian classic, with flaky, golden puff pastry filled with a creamy, rich combination of feta, ricotta, and spinach. A perfectly pungent salad with a dressing of red wine vinegar and oregano pairs perfectly with the tart. Απολαμβάνω! (Now that's difficult to spell!)

1 Prepare the Ingredients
Halve and peel shallot. Slice into thin strips.
Coarsely chop spinach.Stem and mince oregano.Core tomato and cut into 1/4" rounds. Quarter rounds into wedges.Trim cucumber, peel, and cut into 1/4" half-moons.Make a cornstarch slurry by mixing cornstarch and 1/4 cup water in a large mixing bowl. -
2 Cook the Filling
Place a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat. Add 2 tsp. olive oil and 3/4 the shallot to hot pan. Cook until softened, 2-3 minutes.
Add spinach and cook until wilted, 2-3 minutes.Stir cornstarch slurry to recombine. Add slurry to pan, stirring to combine. Remove from burner.Transfer spinach filling to mixing bowl used for slurry. Season with a pinch of salt. Set aside until filling is cool to the touch.While filling cools, marinate vegetables. -
3 Marinate Salad and Finish Filling
In another mixing bowl, combine red wine vinegar, 2 tsp. olive oil, half the oregano (reserve remaining for filling), 1/4 tsp. salt, and pinch of pepper. Toss in tomato, cucumber, and remaining shallot. Set aside to marinate.
Once spinach filling has cooled to the touch, add ricotta, feta, remaining oregano, and 1/4 tsp. salt to bowl. Mix thoroughly.Letting spinach cool makes the puff pastry easier to work with. -

Scoop half the spinach filling onto dough center, leaving 1/4" border. Lightly brush dough border with water.Fold one corner to meet opposite corner, making a triangle and press to seal, gently stretching as needed. Use a fork to crimp and press dough pieces together.
