A Greek delicious winter treat comes just in time for Halloween!

KOL

 

Serves: a medium-sized pan Preparation time: 30 mins Cooking time:1.30 mins Ready in: 2 hours

INGREDIENTS

For the filling:

Average-sized pumpkin, chopped in cubes

200 grams of feta cheese crumbles

1 cup of trachana (short pasta) or carolina rice

5 soup spoons of olive oil

fresh mint, finely chopped

For the dough:

600 grams of all-purpose flour

100 grams of whole grain flour

1 wine glass of olive oil

1 shot of vinegar or raki

2 teaspoons of salt

lukewarm water (as much as necessary)

olive oil

PREPARATION METHOD

Step 1

Prepare the dough: Mix all ingredients together in a bowl and knead in while slowly adding water until it becomes a nice soft elastic mixture that doesn’t stick to your hands. Place it on the kitchen top and continue to knead. Cover it with a towel until the pie filling is ready.

Step 2

Prepare the filling: Saute the pumpkin on strong heat using a wide non-stick frying pan, add salt, and heat until it softens and absorbs all its juice.

Step 3

Remove from the fire and mix in the trachana or the rice. Add the feta cheese and mint flavoring.

Step 4

Preheat the oven at 180°C. Separate the dough into four parts, sprinkle it with flour on both sides and open the dough until it is thin and even.

Step 5

Brush olive oil on a low pan and spread the two sheets of dough on it once they are separately  oiled. Place the filling making sure it is even. Cover it with the rest of the sheets of dough in the same way.
