For the phyllo dough:
1/2 kg flour for all purposes
A pinch of salt
150gr oil
150gr raki
Water (as much as it takes for a flexible dough)
For the filling:
1 kg pumpkins
2 large onions
Half a bunch mint
Half a bunch parsley
300gr. feta cheese
2 eggs
1 cup sweet trachana (cracked wheat)

Wash the zucchini and cut the ends. Coarsely grate the zucchini and sprinkle with coarse salt. Leave in a sieve to drain the liquid for 2-3 hours. Clean the onions, grate and place in frying pan with a little water and oil to soften. Cool. Finely chop the mint and parsley and mix with the grated zucchini, onions, feta and the eggs. Roll out the dough into thin phyllo sheets. Oil the baking pan and place one lightly oiled sheet on the bottom and then another sheet. Sprinkle a cup of sweet trahana (cracked wheat) in the zucchini mixture to absorb the extra liquids and cover with two more layers.

Oil the pie, cut in squares, sprinkle with sesame seeds. Bake in a preheated oven at 220 C for about 45 minutes until the top has browned and the lower phyllo layer has dried.

10gr peeled sesame
5gr cinnamon

In a bowl, pour water, olive oil and the juice of half a lemon. Add the sifted flour and stir until the mixture thickens.

Put a frying pan on high heat and let olive oil simmer. Spoon the dough into the hot oil. Fry on both sides for 2-3 minutes. Remove the “tiganites” and drain on kitchen paper. Garnish with honey and cinnamon.

Dill
For the dough:
1 kg flour
1 small wine glass olive oil
1 small wine glass sugar
Salt
Butter

Mix all the ingredients for the dough. Cover, set aside and let rise. Separate the dough into four equal parts and roll out the phyllo layers. Place a phyllo layer in a baking pan, brush with melted butter and add the second layer, making sure the edges cover the sides of the baking pan. Add the filling, spread evenly over the dough and cover with the remaining two layers. Join the edges from inside and add a pinch of cinnamon.

Bake in a pre-heated oven at 170- 180 C for about 40 minutes.

For the dough:

Salt
1 cup water
Oil
For the filling:
2 cups trachana (cracked wheat)
Some rice
½ kg milk
3 eggs
Pepper
1 cup Myzithra cheese of Skyros

Knead the dough in balls and open a thin sheet the size of the pan with a traditional wooden reed. Cut the sheet into strips. Boil the trachana (cracked wheat or couscous) very well; add the milk and rice and boil for 8 minutes. Remove from fire, beat the eggs, add the mizithra cheese, salt and pepper, then stir. Spread three buttered sheets of dough in a baking pan and pour the mixture over the layers. Cover with two sheets of dough.

Bake in the oven for an hour. Sprinkle with cinnamon and honey.

100 gr chickpeas
100 gr beans
50 gr lentils
150 gr raisins
1 big pomegranate
250 gr sesame
500 gr tahini
200 gr walnuts
Cinnamon powder
A little flower-water
Sugar (depending on how sweet we want them)

Boil the wheat and pulses in a large pot. When it’s almost boiled, add the raisins. Check occasionally that the beans and wheat are boiling but not mashed. Remove from fire. Roast the sesame seeds. Dilute the tahini with a portion of the wheat and bean mixture and add half of the sesame seeds. Place the diluted tahini with the sesame seeds in a blender and mix. Blend with the bean and wheat mixture after removing the excess cooking juices.

Put the mixture again on the fire in a clean pot to gently boil. Remove and flavor with flower-water. Serve in balls and add sugar according to taste sprinkling with grated walnuts, roasted sesame seeds, cinnamon and pomegranates.

2 eggs
1 teaspoon sugar
½ teaspoon salt
1 cup fresh milk
The juice of ½ orange
1 sachet baking powder
2 cups flour
Olive oil for frying
Cinnamon
Honey

In a large bowl, beat together the eggs, sugar and salt until fluffy. Add remaining ingredients and mix well to make a slightly thick batter.

In a frypan, heat the oil on medium heat. Take spoonfuls of the dough which has been dipped in oil so as not to stick and fry until golden-brown. Place on a platter lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve on a plate topped with cinnamon and plenty of honey. Alternatively serve with goat’s cheese while they are hot and fluffy.

200 grams flour
1 pinch salt
150 grams frozen butter
50 grams almond powder
75 grams powdered sugar
Lemon slices
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 egg
500 grams plums of Skopelos

After sifting the flour thoroughly, mix with salt and cold butter cubes. Work the mixture first with hands to spread the butter evenly until the dough resembles thick crumbs. Add the ground almonds, chopped in blender, together with the traces, the zest and cinnamon. Add the egg and mix well. Cover the bowl with a cloth and let sit in the refrigerator for an hour. Wash the plums thoroughly and remove the seeds. Cut the fruit into thin slices or chunks. Remove the dough from the refrigerator. Lightly butter a round cake moud (without the hole in the middle) or a pyrex. Pour the dough into the mould, top with plum slices and press down gently with fingers.

Bake in a preheated oven to 190 C for 30 minutes until golden brown and the plums are soft. Let cool and remove from mould.

2 tomatoes
3 Eggs
1 cup Onions
1/2 cup Cheese ((ksinomizithra or touloumotyri)

Finely chop the tomatoes. In a frying pan, saut? onions and add the chopped tomatoes. In a separate bowl beat the eggs with the “ksinomyzithra” cheese or the “touloumotyri” cheese and pour over the tomatoes. Stir well, let cool for 5 minutes and serve.

Stir well, let cool for 5 minutes and serve.

500gr flour for all purposes (Alternatively 350gr flour for all purposes and 150gr yellow flour)
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon baking powder
1 tablespoon vinegar
3-4 tablespoons olive oil
250gr water

For the filling:
600-700gr feta cheese and goat’s cheese (crushed)

Stir well in a large bowl all the solid ingredients and add the vinegar, oil and gradually the water. Knead until the dough does not stick to the bowl. Separate the dough into eight small balls. Place in a floured pan, cover with a towel and let rest for about half an hour. Roll out each ball into a thin layer of dough. Put the filling on one edge, brush the phyllo dough with a little oil, fold both sides a little so that the filling does not spill and make a roll. Holding the two ends gives the pie the shape of a snail.

Heat the oil in a pot or frying pan (not too large) and when it’s hot place the pie gently in the pan so the crust doesn’t open. Turn, using two forks so that it doesn’t break and fry until golden-brown. Drain the oil by placing on kitchen paper and serve hot.
