Description

Greek kohlrabi pie

Ingredients

Kohlrabi - 31.7 oz
Onion - 1 head
Chicken Egg - 3 pieces
Feta cheese - 4.9 oz
Phyllo Dough - 7.9 oz
Olive Oil - 3 spoons
Garlic - 2 cloves
Dill - 1 bunch
Italian chopped parsley - 1 bunch
Salt - to taste
Ground Black Pepper - to taste

Step by Step guide

Step 1

Cut the leaves of the kohlrabi from the stem, blanch them for one minute in a pot of boiling salted water, then rinse them under cold water, and place them on a paper towel to dry. Tear the leaves by hand and set them aside. Peel the remaining part of the kohlrabi and grate it using a large grater.

Step 2

Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat, add finely chopped onion and sauté, stirring constantly, for about five minutes until the onion becomes soft. Add a generous pinch of salt, minced garlic, and mix well, cooking for another thirty seconds. Then add kohlrabi, along with an additional tablespoon of olive oil. Sauté, stirring, for about ten minutes. If there is a lot of liquid in the skillet during cooking, it should be evaporated by increasing the heat. Season the cooked kohlrabi with salt and pepper to taste, mix with blanched leaves, finely chopped parsley (about a quarter cup), and dill (about a third cup), and set aside.

Step 3

Preheat the oven to 374°F. Grease a pie dish with olive oil. In a large bowl, whisk the eggs, then add the crumbled feta cheese. Mix the egg and cheese mixture thoroughly with the kohlrabi.

Step 4

In a pre-prepared baking dish, place 7 sheets of phyllo dough, lightly brushing each one with olive oil to ensure they evenly cover the bottom of the dish and slightly overhang the edges. Pour the previously prepared filling with kohlrabi on top, fold the edges of the dough over, and cover with the remaining five sheets, remembering to brush them with oil as well. Make a few cuts in the surface of the pie with a knife to allow steam to escape during baking. Bake for about fifty minutes until a golden-brown crust forms.
