Method

1. After washing the spinach thoroughly several times to ensure it is completely clean, chop it and sprinkle with salt to draw out and remove excess water until well drained.
2. Once drained, add the chopped onion and the remaining filling ingredients (do not add extra salt) and mix well.
3. Roll the dough out to a slightly thin thickness and cut into medium-sized circles.
4. Place a portion of the filling in each dough circle and fold the pieces into triangular shapes to seal.
5. Lightly grease a baking tray with oil and arrange the pies on it.
6. Bake in a preheated oven at medium temperature until cooked through and golden.
