A delicious, refreshing pie for the hot summer months! It can also be served warm, but many much prefer it cold. It can also be served with ice cream.
Ingredients
1 packet filo pastry (12 sheets)
250g Greek strained yoghurt
4 eggs
2 tablespoons baking powder
Juice of 1 orange
250 ml extra virgin olive oil
Butter to grease oven dish
For the syrup
600 ml water
250g sugar
Juice of 1 orange
Grated rind from 2 oranges
Preparation
1) Leave the sheets of filo pastry out, separated and uncovered, to dry for a few hours.
2) Tear the sheets of filo into 2cm strips – doesn’t matter about being even just torn, don’t shred with a knife as it loses its consistency.
3) Put the olive oil and eggs in a mixing bowl and whisk well with a metal whisker.
4) Add the yoghurt and baking powder and continue whisking until you have a smooth cream.
5) Add the torn filo pastry and mix in well with your hands.
6) Put in a greased oven dish with additional grated orange zest over the butter and bake in a preheated oven at 180 degrees Celsius for 20 minutes until it turns a golden colour.
7) In the meantime, prepare the syrup – boil the syrup ingredients in a pan for 5 minutes.
After removing the pie, once it is cold, cut into portions and spread the warm syrup on top.
