Leek pie

Leek pie

Ingredients

• 5 large leeks
• 4 eggs
• 1/2 lt milk
• 1/4 cup of fine semolina
• 2 tbsp olive oil or butter
• 300 gr. grated feta cheese
• Salt
• Pepper
• chopped parsley
• chopped dill
• mint leaves
• 2 pinches of nutmeg (grated)
• 2 sheets of puff pastry
• sesame seeds

Directions

1. First clean and wash the leeks well.
3. Cut them into slices.
5. Put them in a small pot of boiling water and scald them for 5 minutes.
7. Drain them in a colander to remove all the liquid and dry the leeks completely.
9. If we proceed with the filling without thoroughly drying the leeks, all the moisture will come out in the filling.
11. Put a large frying pan or pot over medium to high heat.
13. Add the olive oil and as soon as it ho5, add the leeks.
15. Sauté them for 5-6 minutes, until they have completely absorbed their liquid.
17. We add a little salt and pepper because the feta is salty enough.
19. Add the semolina and mix with a spoon so that it is oiled and mixed with the leeks.
21. Grate the nutmeg and add it to the filling.
23. Add the milk and mix the filling
25. Allow the filling to boil for a few minutes and stir until the cream and leeks bind.
27. Remove from the heat and let it stand for 5 minutes.
29. Add the feta and stir to melt in the hot cream and at the same time lower the temperature of the filling in this way to add the eggs.
31. Add the eggs one by one to the filling, mixing each time with a spoon with quick movements so that they are incorporated into the mixture.
33. Leave the leek pie filling aside for a while so it can cool down, once it's cool and the parsley,dill, and mint.
35. If you put hot filling on puff pastry sheets, it will be difficult for you to close the pie when you join the top with the bottom sheet, add sesame seeds and bake at 200 degrees Celsius for 1 hour.
