PRASOPITA
(LEEK & FETA GREEK PIE)
8 rectangle phyllo sheets (defrosted)
3 leeks (thinly sliced)
1 spring onion (thinly sliced)
1 tbl dr oregano
1/2 tbl sp dr mint
1/2 tbl sp all spice
1/3 cup white wine
400gm Dodoni feta
Knob salted butter
1 egg (whisked)
Sesame seeds
Preheat oven to 170 degrees Celsius.
Start by making the leek filling. Place heavy pan on medium high heat with a bit of oil and add in your leek and spring onion to sweat down with a pinch of salt. Let it sweat for a few minutes before adding in oregano, mint and all spice. Mix through and cook for a minute. Add in your white wine and cook out completely. Turn off heat and add in half of your feta and allow it to melt into mix. Cool completely.
Crumble the remaining 200gm of feta in a bowl and line a baking tray.
To create the pie, melt your butter and lay a sheet of phyllo down. Using a brush, throw some drops of butter on the phyllo, before adding a line of leek filling at the bottom. Add some crumbled feta to the phyllo and roll upon itself before curling into a snail shape and popping onto lined tray. Continue this process until all filling is used up.
Brush on an egg wash (you can also brush with olive oil if your prefer for a more crunchy pastry), before adding a sprinkling of sesame seeds. Pop into oven for 75-80 minutes, or until you have a really golden pastry. Cut into pieces and enjoy.
