Whole grains contain soluble and insoluble fiber that coats the gastrointestinal tract when consumed, thus slowing down the absorption of nutrients and we stay full for a long time.
Whole grains are great for appetite control, for losing weight, and for improving your overall health because of their rich nutritional composition.
This homemade whole grain spinach pie can be combined with any whole grain seeds you like, the recipe is just an example of how creative you can get with it! It’s best if consumed with some greek yogurt or feta cheese. Enjoy!
Homemade Whole Grain Spinach Pie
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp millet seeds
- 2 tbsp buckwheat
- 2 tbsp amaranth
- 2 tbsp quinoa
- 6 tbsp whole wheat flour
- 100 ml Greek yogurt
- 300 gr boiled spinach
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- olives, feta cheese, and bacon (optional)
- flax seeds, sunflower seeds (optional, on top)
- salt and pepper
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Put the millet, buckwheat, amaranth and quinoa in a saucepan with more water. It is best to soak them in water beforehand, so as soon as you remove the phytic acid, they will boil faster.
- Whenever I boil grains, I add more water, so when they soften, I throw away the excess and use them, I am not so strict with 2: 1 or 3: 1 measures. I put more so that there is enough to cook nicely.
- When they were completely softened, I drained the excess water through a strainer and let them drain well. Drain them well so that if there is more water left, the pie may eventually get wet and you may feel like it has not been baked.
- Meanwhile, put the egg, yogurt and olive oil in a blender and set aside the finely chopped spinach. Additionally, grate some cheese, dice a little bacon (just for smell) and add a few olives (optional, for more flavoring).
- In the end, combine everything together. I added about 6 tablespoons of whole-wheat flour, but you will see according to the density, if it is very thick, add less or if you see that the mixture is liquid, add another 1-2 tablespoons.
- Sprinkle with pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds and flaxseed on top. (optional)
- Bake around 35-40 minutes. Set aside to cool for a couple of minutes and it is ready to serve!
