If you love a delectable spinach pie studded with feta cheese like I do, this recipe from the June 2013 issue of Martha Stewart Living will tickle your taste buds.  Unlike a traditional Greek spanakopita, this healthy and hearty spinach tart is made in a tart pan, and instead of phyllo dough the tart’s base is a crisp olive oil cracker crust.  That’s right—absolutely no butter in this tart shell recipe, just a mixture of flavorful sesame seeds, whole wheat flour, AP flour, olive oil, water and a touch of salt.  On top of this deliciously crunchy crust is a mixture of sautéed spinach, creamy feta cheese, red pepper flakes and again, more sesame seeds.  This is a great vegetarian dish to serve for brunch, dinner, or even a light lunch.
