Knead a soft dough with the flour, yeast, warm water, half of the olive oil, and half of the salt.
Let the dough rise for 60 minutes, until doubled.
Chop the spinach, rub it with the remaining salt, and squeeze out its liquid.
Finely chop the onion and mix it with the spinach, sumac, lemon juice, pine nuts, and remaining olive oil.
Divide the dough into small balls, add the filling, and close them into triangles.
Bake the triangular pastries at 200°C for 18 minutes, until the edges brown.
Mix the strained yogurt with dried mint and serve beside the warm fatayer.
💡 Tip: After chopping the spinach, rub it with salt for 5 minutes and squeeze out the liquid; a watery filling opens the triangular seams in the oven.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve the warm fatayer on a mezze plate with strained yogurt mint sauce and olives if desired.
