Spinach Calazone's

I am on a calzone kick.
They are so great. After partially baking, and freezing them you are ready to go for that meal that you are to tired to cook. .
Come for supper, I have lots in my freezer.
Still love the Broccoli Calzone Recipe that was posted earlier (July 17th).

Spinach Calzone:

1/2 cup chopped onion
4 clove garlic minced
2 boxes frozen chopped spinach- thawed, and squeezed dry.
lots of oregano
cumin powder, other seasonings that you may like
fresh black pepper -ground
touch cayenne or to taste
tomato sauce or pizza sauce
mozzarella and Parmesan cheese of choice

Directions:

1-Saute onions in lightly sprayed pan
2-Add garlic, continue sauteing.
3- Add all the rest of the ingredients-except the cheese.
4-Mix well
5- turn off burner and add cheese, mix well.
Your mixture should not be runny, or calzone's will get soggy.
6-Roll out dough, put about 1/2 cup on dough. Fold over and crimp with a fork. (can rub water with your fingers over dough where it comes together to help seal) Put 2 slits in top so steam can escape.
Bake 400 degrees until golden brown.
I like to partially bake these ( just until very lightly browned) Cool, put on cookie sheet, freeze, put in freezer bags, mark for future use.

A pizza sauce would be great for dipping in above, preferably home made.

1/2 cup potatoes finely diced
1/2 cup frozen or fresh peas
1/2 cup frozen or fresh corn
1/2 cup cabbage, shredded
1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
fresh ground black pepper

Directions:

1-Saute onion for a few minutes in a sprayed pan. Add all the spices, continue sauteing.
2-Add garlic, continue to saute an additional 2 minutes.

4-Stir in the green peas, corn, and cabbage, thyme, lemon juice and black pepper. Cook for 3-4 more minutes more.

If you go to Broccoli post July 17th you will find the crust recipe
