SPINACH PIE
Here in Gibraltar its one of our most popular dishes. The pie originated in Greece where it is called spanakopita, was then adapted to our food resources and hence the Gibraltarian Spinach Pie. Its recipe has been passed on from mother to daughter for years and I want to pass it on to my cooking friends.
