Cook the onions
Heat the oven to 180°C (160°C fan). Cook the onion and spring onions in the 4 tablespoons of oil for about 8 minutes until soft and sweet.

The Story Behind the Dish
Spanakopita takes its name from spanaki, 'spinach', and pita, 'pie'. Savoury pies are a deep tradition across Greece, especially in the mountainous north, where every region has its own fillings of greens, cheese or wild herbs.
Paper-thin filo pastry became widespread across the Ottoman world, and spinach-and-feta pie grew into one of Greece's best-known dishes at home and abroad.
⭐ Why It's Famous
It's a beloved bakery snack, a family-dinner main and a party favourite, and it travels well for picnics.
💡 Fun Fact
During Orthodox fasting periods, Greeks make a cheese-free version called spanakopita nistisimi, packed with extra herbs instead.
