Υλικά

• 6 leeks sliced, (just the white part)
• 1 small onion, finely chopped
• 4 tbsp. olive oil
• 600 gr. lean minced beef
• 2 eggs
• 1/2 tbsp. cumin powder
• 1/2 tbsp. dry coriander powder
• 1/2 cup vegetable broth
• salt-freshly ground pepper
• 700 gr. filo pastry (ideally country-style “horiatiko filo)
• 150 gr. olive oil for drizzling
• 2 tbsp.
• Sesame seeds

Εκτέλεση

• To make the filling of the leek pie, heat 4 tbsp. olive oil in a wide pot over medium heat. Saute the chopped onion for 1 ‘.
• Add the leeks and stir lightly. Leave them to soften for 7′-8 ‘, periodically shaking the pot to keep the leeks in shape.
• Add the minced meat to the pot, break it up with the help of a fork or spoon so that no large pieces remain and sauté for 4′-5 ‘until it changes color.
• Add the spices and broth.
• Let the mixture simmer for 10 ‘on low heat. Add salt and pepper to taste.
• Remove from the heat and allow to cool slightly.
• In a bowl, beat the eggs and add them to the mixture for the pie.
• Preheat a fan-oven to 170. C
• Lightly grease a large oven baking tray.
• Spread the first sheet of filo and drizzle with olive oil.
• Repeat the process with half the filo pastry from the package.
• Spread the filling evenly over the filo and then repeat the process of spreading the remaining filo.
• We wrap the leaves that are left on the sides inwards, smearing them with olive oil. Tuck the left over filo pastry inward round the pan and brush with olive oil.
• Brush the top of the pie with olive oil, sprinkle with sesame seeds and cut into 12 pieces.

Cook’s Tip

For more flavor, add a little chopped mint or dill to the mixture.

Doctor’s Tip

All types of pies increase sugar in diabetics, so if possible, prefer those with wholemeal filo pastry.
