The root of the Italian fennel, or in other words fennel, is a common ingredient in Mediterranean cuisine. In Greek cuisine, its characteristic slightly aniseed flavor can be found, among others, in sensational kaltsouni and pitta casseroles.
To make this casserole Greeks generally use sfoliata, which is the equivalent of puff pastry. In the frozen version it is available in every major grocery store. To the casserole in the given proportions, one piece of the already thawed dough is enough. However, if you want to increase the amount of ingredients it will be better to stock up (or make) two pieces of this cake.
Depending on the region of Greece, the ingredients for marathopita may slightly differ. Some Greeks add, for example, zucchini or kefalograviera cheese. Some people fry in the pan, others bake it in the oven. In our opinion, each version is tasty, so it's worth experimenting all the more because it's a simple recipe.
1. Put a chopped fennel and a large amount of salt into a large bowl and lightly crush it until it begins to soften.
2. Put hot onions into the hot oil, fry them until glazed and then add the fennel, spinach leaves, chopped mint and pepper. Mix ingredients thoroughly with each other and fry until the spinach leaves are soft.
3. Spread the puff pastry and divide it so that you get two uneven parts. The smaller one will be placed on the top, the more we lecture the bottom and the sides of the heat-resistant vessel or plate. It is important that the bottom part of the dough can be wrapped at the top, so there must be a good supply left on the sides of the dish.
4. If necessary, the dough pieces can be rolled out slightly.
5. We put a larger dish in a heat-resistant dish, lightly lubricate it with olive oil and apply all the previously prepared stuffing. Spread it evenly and put a smaller piece of cake on top. Now wrap the sides of the bottom part of the dough tightly connecting them to the top piece of dough. The top of the dough also lightly lubricates with olive oil and possibly with egg.
6. Bake marathopite in an oven preheated to 180 degrees for about an hour. If you would like to bake it in a pan, then the stuffing cake should be quite flat. We cook them on strong fire in a large amount of olive oil.
Καλή όρεξη!
Prasopita is another Greek casserole made of filo pastry, but this time the main role in stuffing is Kefalograviera cheese and leeks, so it will be a favorite dish for those who prefer these vegetables. Prasopita needs to be seasoned differently, it will not be very expressive in taste.
Although the recipe for kolokithokeftedes has been on our site for a long time, we decided to publish the second version of the recipe. Kolokithokeftedes in this way we ate recently with our Cretan friends. Pancakes prepared in this way have tasted us so much that we asked for a way of preparing :)
When you ask a local resident in Greece what a delicious dish you can do with green peas, the answer probably will be: Αράκας Λαδερος! This dish from the first moment has also become one of our favorites. At the outset, it is worth noting that to prepare it you do not need many products and time-consuming preparations. In addition to fresh or frozen peas, only onions, carrots, potatoes, good home-made tomato puree (or fresh tomatoes) and dill will be necessary.
