Cheesy Spinach Money Bags


I initially wanted to make use of all the wonton wrappers that I have after making homemade wantan noodles, so, since there are some spinach in the fridge, I made a pared down fillings of spanakopita, which mainly consisted of feta cheese and spinach. My moneybags doesn't even have proper tie-strings, I only used the spinach stems. These three moneybags in the photograph are the best as I sucked at frying and three-quarter of them are slightly too brown and burnt. The specks of chopped carrots I added in for colour didn't really show up in the end product, so its totally negligible.
