Hortapita is a traditional Greek-style pie with wild greens. Ingredients
For the Pastry: 
Hortapita Preparation:Method:Begin by preparing the pastry. Melt the butter on a medium heat then take off the heat before mixing-in the sour cream, flour and salt. Knead until the pastry comes together (it should be very soft and pliable). Wrap in clingfilm and place in the fridge to chill (leave for up to 30 minutes). Meanwhile, wash the wild greens and dry thoroughly. Heat a non-stick frying pan on medium heat stir-fry the leaves until they wilt. Quickly rinse them under cold running water to stop them from cooking further. Press until dry then chop the cooked leaves coarsely. Add the oil to the pan, add the onion and cook on low heat for about 10 minutes, or until the onion begins to soften. Take off the heat and add the other ingredients, mixing thoroughly to combine. Roll the relaxed dough to a large rectangle about 0.5 cm thick. Halve the dough into 2 essentially equally-sized rectangles. Place the smaller one on a medium-sized baking tray, spread the filling on top, and cover with the larger dough sheet. Pinch the edges firmly together, pierce with a fork couple of times and brush with the eggwash. Place in an oven pre-heated to 200°C and bake for 25–30 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove from the oven, allow tool a little and cut into squares. |
