Spinach Fatayer
A Middle Eastern pie that can be filled with meat, feta or vegetables.

Method:
- To make the dough, fit the food processor attachment onto the Chef Titanium and add all the dry ingredients. Turn on to a low speed.
- Once combined, slowly pour in the warm milk and olive oil for the dough to come together. Mix for about 5 minutes.
- Put the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover, and leave the dough to rest for 10-15 mins.
- Next, soak the cubed cheese in cold water for 10-15 minutes.
- Use the food processor to finely chop the parsley and mint.
- Drain the cheese and put it in the mixing bowl. Attach the Flexi-beater bowl tool and crumble the cheese on a low speed.
- Add the chopped parsley, mint, and Nigella Seeds into the bowl then use the pulse setting on the speed control to combine.
- Add the egg (for the filling) and pulse until incorporated.
- Pre heat oven to 180°C / 350°F /Gas 4
- Divide the dough into 24 equal pieces. Roll out each piece into approximately 9-10cm disks.
- Put a teaspoon of filling onto the centre of disk.
- Pick up the top and bottom of the disk and pinch the dough together, then pick up the sides of the disk and pinch together creating a square-like shape with opened corners.
- Brush the parcels with the other beaten egg and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Bake in the middle of the oven for 15 minutes or until golden brown. Serve warm.
