🌱SPANAKOPITA SKILLET🌱
A twist on a classic Greek phyllo pastry, traditionally served in squares. This version rolls the phyllo on top to crisp up in the oven.

I n g r e d i e n t s🌿
1 tbsp unsalted butter
20oz frozen chopped spinach, squeezed dry
1/4 tsp salt
3 garlic cloves, minced
1/8 tsp ground nutmeg
1/8 tsp cayenne pepper
8oz feta cheese
6oz ricotta cheese
2 eggs, beaten
1/4 cup minced fresh mint
2 tbsp minced fresh dill
20 phyllo sheets, thawed

D i r e c t i o n s🔥
1. Heat oven to 375F. Melt butter in a 10 inch skillet. Add spinach, salt, and cook until mixture is dry, about four minutes. Stir in garlic, nutmeg, cayenne and cook about 30 seconds. Transfer to a large bowl and let cool.
2. Stir feta, ricotta, eggs, mint, and dill into the cool spinach mixture. Spread evenly into the empty skillet.
3. Play one sheet of phyllo on a clean counter. Spray with oil spray. Crumble the oil follow into a 2 inch ball and place on top of the spinach mixture in the skillet. Repeat until the entire spinach layer is covered with phyllo.
4. Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake until the phyllo is golden brown and crisp, about 35 to 40 minutes. Then let the spanakopita cool for 10 minutes before serving.

Our final afternoon and evening in the Amazon 🌿✨🇵🇪

If you had told me a few days ago that I’d be spotting sloths in the treetops, watching a tarantula emerge from its burrow, finding snakes hidden amongst the jungle foliage, and learning about insects I’d never seen before, I probably wouldn’t have believed you.

After our jungle walk, we floated in the Amazon river with Aperol Spritzes in hand, as the sun began to set. We snacked on local nuts, including macambo seeds—nicknamed “monkey brains” because of their unusual appearance. 🐒🌅

The perfect finale was a dinner showcasing flavours from across Peru:

🥖 Chapla bread with huacatay butter
🫒 Beet carpaccio with preserved Amazonian lemons & smoked goat cheese
🌱 Green pea and fava bean rustic purée
🥗 Quinoa and dried tomato tabbouleh with tzatziki
🐟 Baked Andean trout with burned butter
✨ Crispy taco with passion fruit cream & almond meringue
🍫 Coca leaf and ganache alfajores

A few days of wildlife, incredible food, river adventures, and unforgettable moments. The Amazon exceeded every expectation. 🌿💚

POV: You spent the morning fishing for piranhas, swam in the Amazon, and had breakfast in the middle of the world’s largest rainforest. 🐟🌿🇵🇪

This was one of those travel days that didn’t feel real.

We headed out on the river bright and early, tried our luck at piranha fishing, jumped into the Amazon for a swim, and had breakfast surrounded by nothing but rainforest and water.

The Amazon has a way of making you feel very small, but very alive. ✨

Would you swim in the Amazon? 👀
