Spinach Folds

Every now and then I get a strong craving for a spinach fold, but never knew what went in them. The shop I go to buy them from hardly has them or is closed a lot of the time. I finally found a recipe for them.

For the casing: (you may need to double this)

- 2 cups flour
- 3/4 cup boiling water
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon salt

For the filling:

- 2 teaspoons olive oil                                   

- 2 small onions, finely chopped

- 600g frozen spinach

- 2 teaspoons salt

- 2 tablespoons sumac
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 1/4 cup lemon juice

To make the casing:
1. In a bowl, add all the ingredients together and mix with a spoon.
2. When it turns into a dough, start kneading it with your hands. (You don't need to let this dough sit, it's ready to use straight away.)

For the filling:
1. Heat the oil in a pan and add the onion.
2. Add the salt, sumac and pepper, then add the lemon juice. Cook for about 5 minutes and let to cool.

1. Once the mixture has cooled, break a bit off your dough, roll it out thin, and put a teaspoon-tablespoon of the mixture into the centre.
2. Fold half the dough over your mixture and seal.
3. Deep fry until golden.
