Recipe Reviews

I liked working with this dough - slightly sticky but not a mess. I liked the filling recipe (mostly spinach and onion) as it seemed similar to my own family's recipe. I liked the easy to follow instructions. And I definitely liked the beautiful pictures of the fatayar on Maureen's website. However, the crust of my final product was too puffy - my "ridge" (formed when pinching the dough together) completely disappeared and lost all definition. No big deal as long as it tastes wonderful right? Well, they were good but not great. Flavors were off, especially in the filling, so I added another 1/2 lemon and some sumac, as well as a dose of olive oil. Much better. Also the flavor improves as it sits, so next time I will be sure to make ahead.
