Empanadas de espinaca, or spinach empanadas, are a great option for those looking for a healthier alternative. To make the filling, you will need fresh spinach, onions, garlic, ricotta cheese, parmesan cheese, nutmeg, salt, and pepper. Start by sautéing the onions and garlic until they are soft and fragrant. Then, add the spinach and cook until it wilts. Let the mixture cool before adding the ricotta cheese, parmesan cheese, nutmeg, salt, and pepper. Mix everything together until well combined. The dough for the empanadas de espinaca can be made using the same recipe as for the other empanadas. Roll out the dough, cut it into circles, and place a spoonful of the spinach filling in the center of each circle. Fold the dough over and seal the edges. Bake the empanadas in a preheated oven until they are golden brown and crispy. Serve them hot with a side of yogurt or tzatziki sauce for dipping.
