Prassokimadopita | Leek and meat pie. Simple and savory filling of sautéed leeks and ground pork. “Opening” my own phyllo is something I used to do all the time but since having kids there’s been an unintentional hiatus! My 3 year old loved helping me brush the layers with olive oil and did such a great job at that. Made me realize I need to do this more often!

Rough filling recipe: Heat olive oil in pan. Sauté 4 to 5 sliced leeks till soft. Remove from pan. Add 1 lb (450g) ground pork (or half pork, half beef) and season with salt and pepper. Break apart and brown all over. Add 1-2 tbsp tomato paste and cook 1-2 min. Return leeks to pan and stir well. Remove from heat. Let cool slightly. Add a generous handful grated cheese (like kefalotyri or pecorino) and an egg. Stir well. Use to fill pie with either homemade or storebought phyllo.
