Phyllo Meat And Potato Pie

Step 1

In a large saucepan, coat the bottom of the pan with extra virgin olive oil and add ground beef.

Step 2

Cook the ground beef, breaking up the meat with the back of a spoon and stir often until the meat is browned.

Step 3

Add the onion to the meat and saute it. Set aside.

Step 4

Meanwhile, boil the potatoes.

Step 5

Let cool, then peel and shred.

Step 6

Add the potatoes to the meat and onion.

Step 7

Add crumbled Feta cheese, chopped dill, tarragon, raisins, salt and pepper.

Step 8

Add ONLY 4 eggs to the mixture. The 5th one will be used to brush the pie on top.

Step 9

Mix everything well. Set aside.

Step 10

In the meantime preheat the oven to 350F.

Step 11

The recipe is enough for two or three pie rolls.

Step 12

Cover the bottom of a baking tray with parchment paper.

Step 13

Then open out 1 sheet of filo pastry and brush it with some oil (pour few tablespoons of oil in a cup and use a pastry brush).

Step 14

Place another sheet on top and brush with oil again.

Step 15

Repeat this process until you have 5 sheets, one on top of the other.

Step 16

Place half of the filling mixture along one of the narrower edges of the phyllo, but stopping a couple of inches (5cm) short of the edge at each end.

Step 17

Fold in the few inches (5cm) on each side of the phyllo all the way along (to hold in the filling) and then roll the whole thing up into a roll.

Step 18

Place the roll on a baking tray.

Step 19

Repeat the same process with the other roll.

Step 20

Lastly, beat the egg and then brush the top of the pie rolls.

Step 21

Bake at 350F for about 40-45 min or until golden brown.

Finally remove it from the oven, cut and serve hot.
