Ingredients
For the pastry:
1 kilo plain flour
½ glass of tsikoudia (can be replaced with ouzo)
½ cup olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
warm water, as much as the flour needs
black or white sesame seeds
For the filling:
8 large onions blended
2 ripe tomatoes
1 green pepper (use the less potent red pepper if you prefer)
½ cup olive oil
2 tablespoons plain flour
1 teaspoon black pepper
Method
For the pastry:
Notes: It is normally mixed and rolled on a kitchen bench, or mixed in a large bowl and then rolled on the bench.
1. Create a hole in the centre of the flour and add all wet ingredients.
2. Making sure that the warm water is added slowly so that the amount can be judged, creating pliable dough.
3. Leave the dough in the fridge for about 2 hours to rest.
For the filling:
1. Put all ingredients in a bowl and mix.
2. Roll out the pastry and cut into strips.
3. Put 1 tablespoon of filling a few centimetres apart then fold over, or if pastry strip is too narrow place another on top.
4. Cut them to size, making sure the edges are stuck. This can be done with a brush of water and some pressure.
5. Brush with olive oil and sprinkle with black sesame or white ones if you prefer.
5. Bake in preheated oven of 180°C for 40 minutes.
