== Directions ==
# First soak the dry yeast in 250ml (9fl oz) warm water. Set aside for 5 minutes.
# Place the salt and flour in a large mixing bowl and stir to combine. Make a well in the centre of the flour. Next add the olive oil to the yeast, mix well then pour this mixture gradually into the well of the flour.
# Knead for 15 minutes until you achieve a wet dough, which is soft, and not sticking to the bowl. Brush a little olive oil on the surface. Cover with cloth and leave in a warm place for 1-1½ hours, or until the dough doubles in size.
# Heat the oil in a medium pan and fry the pine nuts on medium heat until slightly browned. Drain on paper towel and set aside.
# Chop spinach and Onion finely or place in blender separately, squeeze out excess water and set aside. Fry the chopped Onion on high heat for 2 minutes, then add the spinach and stir for 3 minutes until spinach is wilted.
# Add sumac, salt, pepper, lemon juice and pine nuts. Mix well then remove from heat. Set aside in pan.
# Roll out the dough into 1 cm (½ inch) thickness. Next cut out 9 cm (3½ inch) squares (cover any unused dough). Add 1 teaspoon of the filling onto the centre of dough squares and fold corner to corner and pinch tightly. (see above illustration).
# Lay the spinach parcels on a greased shallow baking tray measuring approx 40 x 28 cm (16 x 11 inches) tray and brush the surface of each parcel with olive oil. Preheat oven to180 °C (350 °F) Gas mark 4 for five minutes and bake for 10–15 minutes or until golden brown.
