Greek cornmeal pie with greens

Method

For the filling

  • Place a large pan over medium heat and add the olive oil. Let it get hot.
  • Add the greens to the pan and sauté until they wilt down to half their volume. Season with salt and pepper and transfer to a bowl.
  • Add the rice, pepper and crumbled feta. Mix with a wooden spoon and set aside until needed.

For the pie

  • Preheat oven to 180* C (350* F) Fan. Lightly grease a 32 cm baking pan and set aside.  
  • In a bowl, add the hard flour, cornmeal, egg, yogurt and half of the olive oil. Whisk and gradually add 150 g of water until you create a porridge-like mixture whose consistency reminds you of honey.
  • Add the grated feta and mix.
  • Add half of the mixture to the pan and spread it evenly on the bottom of the pan with a spoon.
  • Spread the spinach mixture over it.
  • To the rest of the mixture, add 50 g of water and whisk. You want to make it thin enough so that you can pour it over the greens.
  • Drizzle with the remaining olive oil and bake for 60 minutes.
  • When ready, remove from oven and allow pie to cool before serving.
