  Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   3       lb           Spinach
   1       ea           Onion, med., chopped
     1/2   c            Scallions, chopped
   1       c            Butter
     1/2   c            Dill, chopped
     1/2   c            Parsley, chopped
                        Salt & pepper to taste
     1/2   c            Evaporated milk
   5       ea           Egg
     3/4   lb           Phyllo pastry
                        Melted butter as needed
     1/2   lb           Feta cheese, crumbled

     Wash spinach in plenty of water and cut in sm.
  pcs.; place in bowl. Salt lightly; stir to spread salt
  evenly.  Take spinach, a handful at a time, and
  squeeze out the excess water; place it in another
  bowl.  Saute the onion in half the butter until it is
  a light, golden color; add the scallions and cook
  untill they wilt.  Add spinach; stir until all vegs.
  take on a light color.  Stir in the dill, parsley,
  salt and pepper; cover the pot and cook until all the
  water thrown off by the spinach is absorbed. Remove
  from the heat; turn into a bowl, and immediately add
  the milk (to cool the spinach).  Beat the eggs in
  another bowl and add the cheese to them; add to the
  cooled spinach; mix well.
  
     Line a pan with 8 sheets of phyllo dough, brushing
  each sheet with the melted butter before topping it
  with the next sheet.  Do not trim the overhanging
  sections.  Pour in the spinach mixture, spreading it
  evenly over the phyllo.  Fold the part of the phyllo
  that extends out of the pan back over the filling.
  Lay the remaining phyllo on top, again brushing each
  sheet with melted butter before adding the next.  Now
  trim the overlap.  Brush additional melted butter on
  top of the pie and score it into square or
  diamond-shaped serving pcs.  Bake for 30 to 45 min. in
  a preheated 300 F. oven; let it stand for 30 min.
  before serving.
  
     NOTE:  This can also be made without precooking the
  spinach.  In that case, squeeze the spinach free of as
  much water as possible, mix it with the seasonings,
  and proceed as above, baking it for 1 hr.
