Oh bawls. After all that spanakopiter advice I've only gone and defrosted puff pastry by mistake. Idiot!

[MaMight]

What shall I make instead for my tapas night?

Usable ingredients...

Puff pastry
Spinach
Feta / parmesan / a bit of other cheese
Red onions / spring onions
Cherry tomatoes
Fresh mint
Cupboard stuff (pine nuts / spices / herbs / eggs etc)

Something simple please. I am tired and my children are cranky.

[sayanything]

Make the spanakopita with puff pastry, it'll still be yummy. It'll be more like the individual pies they sell in Greece in bakeries like this cheese pie.

Very authentic, promise.

[MaMight]

Little pasty shaped things. That sounds fine.

AND I can use the leftover spinach stuff to make pasta sauce for the family. Win win.

[Slubberdegullion]

Yes, do the delicious sounding spanakopita but in the fuff pastry.

[Slubberdegullion]

puff pasty I mean.

fuff pasty sounds a bit norty

[overmydeadbody]

yes just make mini puff pastry pies filled with the spanapokita ingreidnets.

SayAnything - are Strifti as delicious as they look? I've got a book with a recipe I've been meaning to try.

[sayanything]

Oh yes BlingLoving, but for me anything that involves puff pastry and cheese is delicious.

[BlingLoving]

Oh, they're puff pastry? They just look like the things in my book so I assumed they were the same. My book thing is something you fry? I must check and report back.

[sayanything]

Actually they can also be layers and layers of phyllo pastry, but from what I know, they're baked.

What are the things in your book called? Are they savoury or are they drenched in syrup after they're fried?

[BlingLoving]

I will have to check - I meant to do that yesterday. Will let you know.
