SPINACH AND FETA PINWHEELS



Spinach and Feta Pinwheels image

When I flew out to my friend's wedding I was asked if I had any ideas for appetizers for the event 2 days away. So, I turned to an old standby....the pinwheel. I had made Mexican and Seafood many times but this one was new. It is an easy, tasty treat. The filling can also be used for a dip with pita chips or crackers.

STEAK, SPINACH & FETA PINWHEELS RECIPE - (4.6/5)



Steak, Spinach & Feta Pinwheels Recipe - (4.6/5) image

Provided by gMinor

Number Of Ingredients 18

MARINADE:
1/4 cup olive oil
1/4 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup red wine
1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 clove garlic, minced
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 1/2 pounds flank steak, butterfly (or pound) to 1/2 inch thickness
FINAL PREPARATION:
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 cup onion, chopped
1/4 cup fine dry bread crumbs
1 cup frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese (seasoned is ok for some extra pop)

Steps:

  • Marinade: In a gallon or bigger zipper bag, combine the list of Marinade ingredients. Pierce the flank steak with a knife, making small slits about 1 inch apart. Place the steak into the bag, make sure everything is mixed and all the meat is covered, then seal. Put in the fridge overnight. Final Preparation: Preheat oven to 350°F. Remove the steak from the bag and place on a working surface so that it is wider than tall. Optional, keep the marinade to baste the final log. Sprinkle the steak with the salt, then spread each ingredient across the steak in a single layer: garlic, onion, feta, spinach and bread crumbs. Tightly roll the meat away from you into a log. If it's thin enough, it will form a jelly roll shape. Worst case (like I usually do), you end up with more a 'meat taco'. It still tastes great though. Anyways, once rolled, secure with tooth picks, or kitchen twine (recommended). Place log in a greased casserole dish, seam up (especially if it's a 'taco'). If you saved the marinade, pour some of it over the log for extra flavor. Bake uncovered for 60 minutes, or until it reaches 145°F. Let it rest for 5 minutes before cutting.

Tips:

  • Use fresh spinach for the best flavor.
  • If you don't have fresh spinach, you can use frozen spinach that has been thawed and squeezed dry.
  • Use a sharp knife to thinly slice the onion.
  • Don't overfill the pinwheels, or they will be difficult to roll up.
  • If you want the pinwheels to be extra crispy, brush them with olive oil before baking.
  • Serve the pinwheels warm with your favorite dipping sauce.

Conclusion:

Spinach and feta pinwheels are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. They are made with simple ingredients that you probably already have on hand, and they can be assembled in just a few minutes. Plus, they are always a hit with guests! So next time you're looking for a quick and easy appetizer, give these spinach and feta pinwheels a try. You won't be disappointed.
