How To Prepare Mixed Greens Skillet Spanakopita ?

Preparation:  

Preparation time: 30 mins

Cooking time: 1 hr

Serving: 6

Ingredients:

• 8 cups (about 1 pound) lightly packed, chopped, assorted tender greens, like swiss chard, spinach, watercress, arugula, or beet tops
• 1 cup (about 2 ounces) lightly packed, chopped, assorted tender herbs, like dill, parsley or chives
• 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, plus more for brushing
• 2 tablespoons feta brine or freshly squeezed lemon juice
• 1¼ teaspoons kosher salt, plus more to taste
• 3/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, plus more to taste
• 1/2 cup couscous or bulgur
• 1 large egg
• 8 ounces feta, coarsely crumbled
• 12 sheets phyllo dough, thawed

Instructions:

1. Adjust the oven rack to the lower-middle position and heat to 400 F. Brush a 10-inch skillet (or 9-inch-deep dish pie plate) generously with olive oil and set on a sheet tray.
2.  In a large bowl, combine greens, herbs, olive oil, feta brine (or lemon juice), salt and pepper. Use your hands to mix everything together and massage the greens until darkened, wilted, and silky, about 3 minutes. (The combo of salt, acid and massaging breaks down the greens, so they cook faster.) Taste and add more salt and pepper, if needed.
3.  Add the couscous (or bulgur) and egg, and mix until evenly combined. (The couscous/bulgur soak up the moisture released from the greens and prevent your pie from having a soggy bottom.) Add the feta and mix until evenly combined.
4.  Unroll the thawed phyllo and keep it covered with a damp towel while you are working. Working with 1 sheet at a time, lay in the skillet (or pie pan) with the excess draping over the rim and brush generously with olive oil. Repeat until you have a total of 8 sheets of phyllo lining the pan, each sheet placed perpendicular to the previous one, brushing with olive oil before adding the next.
5. Add the filling, gently pressing it down into one even layer. Fold over the phyllo overhang then drape the last 4 sheets on top, scrunching them to cover the top. Drizzle with olive oil, then use a sharp serrated knife to cut into portions (it's enough to just cut through the top layer of phyllo, this makes it easier to get clean slices after baking).
6. Bake until the top is browned and crispy, about 45 minutes. Cool for at least 15 minutes before serving. Slice again with a sharp serrated knife. Eat hot, cold or at room temperature. Store leftovers tightly wrapped in the fridge for up to 4 days.
