dictionary

Strained yoghurt

Dairy product, with a firm and creamy texture that is sold in plastic packaging but also in bulk. It is found as an ingredient or accompaniment in many Mediterranean recipes (tzatziki, pilaf, giaourtlou) as well as in confectionery (cookies, cakes, desserts, ice creams).

Fibre

Fibre is a substance found in all natural foods and is important for the normal function of the digestive system while assisting in lowering cholesterol and controlling blood sugar. Excellent sources of fibre are whole grain cereal, unpeeled fruits, whole wheat pasta, whole wheat bread, and nuts.

Country style filo

It is the main ingredient for traditional Greek pies as well as pies that require a sheet with a thicker texture, such as pies with various greens or vegetable fillings. It is made with durum wheat flour, water, vinegar, and oil has several variations throughout Greece. Sometimes, it is used in between the filling layers, to make the pie more stable.

Crithmum (Kritamo)

A small plant found in rocky coastal areas. It is rich in minerals, iodine and vitamins, which is why it has been known since antiquity for its healing properties. It has a wonderful taste and is used in salads, in pies or sauces as an aromatic herb and can be pickled as well.

Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Extra virgin olive oil is the kind of olive oil produced by natural and mechanical methods, the acidity of which, expressed in oleic acid, does not exceed 1g / 100g and has perfect aroma, taste, and high nutritional value. It is superior in quality compared to regular olive oil, which is created by mixing virgin olive oil and refined olive oil, making it organoleptically and physicochemically inferior.

tips

For a shiny, golden-brown pie crust, brush with whisked egg before baking.

For a perfect result, if the filling is warm, allow it to cool before use.

To prevent all liquids from evaporating and drying out the pie filling, carve the pie with a knife, but be careful not to cut all the way through.
