Known as fatayer, Lebanese spinach pies are like the spanakopita of the Middle East, explains cookbook author and blogger Yumna Jawad. The little pies are prepared with a simple homemade dough that’s similar to pizza dough but with a little more oil; as a result, it will be oily when mixed and this is what creates the lovely golden crust on the fatayer. This recipe is featured on Yumna’s Ramadan menu.
