The story behind
Fatayer bi Sabanekh is a classic in Lebanese and Levantine cuisine. Their distinctive triangular shape is achieved by folding the dough toward the center to seal the spinach filling. They are famous for the balance between the earthy flavor of the spinach and the tanginess of lemon juice and sumac, an essential spice in this recipe. They are commonly enjoyed as part of a mezze platter or as a comforting snack.
