About Fatayer

Waseem Hijazi connects fatayer sabanekh to the spinach pies his family bought from a neighbourhood baker in Jordan. His version encloses spinach and onion in soft yeast dough, folded into small triangular pies.

Lemon juice, sumac and pomegranate molasses give the filling its tart seasoning. Olive oil adds richness, while chopped walnuts and cayenne are optional additions with their own texture and heat.

The pies have sealed edges and a golden surface brushed with olive oil. This profile follows the supplied oven option; the author’s air fryer is a separate baking-equipment choice, and other fatayer fillings are not combined.
