Serving Suggestions
This spanakoparatha is a tasty dish that makes a complete meal. I love to serve this with a side of hummus and/or tzatziki. With this combination, it is a delightful meal for a weeknight or weekend. Whenever I have Muhammara or Babaganoush, I pair this paratha with those for yet another flavorful meal.
Storage
This delightful paratha is good to keep outside for a few hours. However, I recommend refrigerating them, as the paratha has feta cheese. You can store this paratha for four to five days in the refrigerator. You can warm the parathas on stove top and serve with delicious hummus. The parathas also freeze fell.
