Ingredients for pastry:
1 kilo plain flour
1/2 glass of tsikoudia
(can be replaced with ouzo)
1/2 cup olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
Warm water – as much as the flour needs
Black sesame seeds (or white sesame)
Ingredients for filling:
8 large onions, blended
2 ripe tomatoes
1 pepper (I like to use the red one as it is less potent)
1/2 cup olive oil
2 tablespoons plain flour
1 teaspoon black pepper
Method for pastry:
* It is normally mixed and rolled on a kitchen bench, if you prefer mix in a large bowl and then roll on the bench
1. Create a hole in the centre of the flour and add all the wet ingredients
2. Make 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 two hours to rest
Method for 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 from each other, then fold pastry 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 the white one if you can’t find black
6. Bake in preheated oven at 180C for 40 minutes
