Leek and Courgette Filo Pie
I was brought up in the Middle East where filo pastry is a staple. I have enjoyed creating this recipe because it reflects my heritage, mixing Middle Eastern ingredients such as filo pastry and feta cheese with cheddar cheese and leeks, which are more English ingredients

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Cook the chopped courgettes and leeks. Fry them gently in a little oil and let them sweat for 10 minutes. Alternatively cook in the oven with a little oil until soft. Add a little salt and pepper and let them cool. Squeeze out as much water as possible.
- 2
Grease an oblong baking dish. I used a 26 cm by 22 cm dish. Reverse the baking dish and cut the filo pastry sheets to fit the size of that dish - it will make it easier to handle the pastry sheets. Melt the butter.
- 3
Roughly divide the filo pastry into 3. Lay the first sheet on the bottom of the dish and brush throughly with the melted butter. Continue the same process with the rest of the first stack of sheets making sure very sheet is well brushed with butter. Scatter the courgette and leek mix over the top.

Continue with the second stack of filo pastry sheets, again making sure that you brush every sheet with melted butter before adding the next one. When you have used up the second stack, spread the 4 beaten medium eggs over the dish and scatter the feta cheese. Add roughly 100 grated mature cheese.
- 5
Use the third stack of filo pastry sheets as before, Finally brush the top with more melted butter and scatter the rest of the grated cheese. Cut the filo pastry into 16 squares before you put it in the oven. Bake in a pre heated oven at 180 degrees for about 30 minutes.

Courgette Pie (Kolokythopita) Courgette Pie (Kolokythopita)
Hi everyone, I finally got to the market this morning and picked up the ingredient which was missing yesterday for my recipe. This also is a simple Greek pie mostly made during the summer season with its lovely taste of Courgette and herbs. There is no phyllo involved in this recipe, so all it is basically is the mixing of the ingredients, and placing into a baking pan.Before my little vegetable garden was destroyed by the snow storm we had a few years ago, I was growing my own vegetables, and herbs which I loved to do. I found growing my own vegetables and flowers is so rewarding. But I did promise myself that I would purchase a new small off ground garden in the coming months. I am hoping maybe around the end of September. 🙂 I hope you will enjoy! 🙂A good friend of mine asked me to make this recipe a while back so Michelle as promised the Kolokythopita recipe you wanted me to make
