Greek Pumpkin And Leek Pie Food
GREEK PUMPKIN AND LEEK PIE
This savory Greek pie, one of my favorites, makes a great vegetarian main dish for Thanksgiving. You can make the filling days before you assemble the pie; you can also make the whole pie ahead, wrap it well and freeze it. Like all winter squash, pumpkin is an excellent source of vitamin A, in the form of beta carotene, and a very good source of vitamin C, potassium, dietary fiber and manganese.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Cover a baking sheet with foil. Place the pumpkin pieces on the baking sheet, drizzle 1 tablespoon of the olive oil on top and cover tightly with foil. Place in the oven, and roast for 1 1/2 hours or until thoroughly tender. Remove from the heat, transfer to a strainer or a colander set over a bowl or in the sink, and allow to cool and drain. Turn the oven down to 375 degrees.
- Peel the cooled pumpkin, and place in a large bowl or in a food processor fitted with the steel blade. Purée coarsely or mash with a fork. Stir in the herbs, nutmeg and feta. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil over medium heat in a large, heavy nonstick frying pan. Add the leeks. Cook, stirring, until tender and just beginning to color, five to 10 minutes. Add the garlic, and continue to cook until fragrant, 30 seconds to a minute. Remove from the heat, and add to the pumpkin. Beat the eggs, and stir into the pumpkin mixture.
- Brush a 10- or 12-inch tart pan or cake pan with olive oil and layer in seven sheets of phyllo dough. Place them not quite evenly atop one another, so that the edges overlap the sides of the pan all the way around. Brush each sheet with olive oil (or a mixture of olive oil and melted butter) before adding the next sheet. Fill with the pumpkin mixture, and fold the edges over. Brush the folded-over phyllo with olive oil, then layer five more sheets of dough over the top, brushing each with olive oil (or a combination of melted butter and olive oil). Crimp the edges into the sides of the pan. Pierce the top of the pie in several places with a sharp knife. Bake in a 375-degree oven for 40 to 50 minutes until the top is golden brown. Serve warm or at room temperature. Recrisp the crust if necessary in a low oven for 10 to 20 minutes.

- Heat 60ml oil in a large frying pan over medium heat and cook leek, garlic and baharat until leek starts to soften (5 minutes). Add pumpkin and cook for 3 minutes, then add cabbage and cook for a further 5 minutes or until vegetables are soft. Stir in currants, herbs, rice and zest, then set aside to cool.
- Preheat oven to 180°C fan-forced. Grease a 25cm springform tin. Divide filling into seven portions. Brush one sheet of pastry with a little of the remaining oil and top with a second sheet. Place one portion of filling lengthways, in a thin line, along pastry edge and roll pastry to enclose filling. Starting at the centre of the tin, carefully form the pastry roll, seam-side down, into a coil. Repeat with remaining pastry sheets, a little more oil and the filling portions, joining each roll to the end of the last one and coiling it around until the base of the tin is covered. Brush top with remaining oil.
- Bake pie for 35 minutes then scatter with poppy and sesame seeds and bake for a further 10 minutes or until golden. Serve with tzatziki on the side.
