Instructions

  1. Heat 3-4 tablespoons of the olive oil and cook the onion and leek over medium-high heat for 3-4 minutes, stirring often, until softened.
  2. Add the zucchini and cook for 5 minutes on high heat until it releases its liquid and dries out.
  3. Remove from the heat.
  4. Stir in the grated carrot, spring onions, and herbs, then season with salt and pepper.
  5. Allow the filling to cool slightly.
  6. Mix in the trahana or semolina and crumble in the feta.
  7. Finally, add the beaten eggs and mix well.
  8. Use a large shallow pan, about 38 cm (15 inches) in diameter.
  9. Brush the pan lightly with olive oil.
  10. Layer 3 phyllo sheets, slightly crumpled, in a radial pattern.
  11. Spread the filling evenly and fold over the overhanging edges of the phyllo.
  12. Drizzle the surface with a little olive oil and sprinkle with a few drops of water.
  13. Lightly pat the top with your hand to moisten, then score the surface of the pie.
  14. Bake with top and bottom heat on the lower rack of a preheated oven at 180°C (360°F) for about 1 hour.
  15. The pie is ready when the pastry is golden and the pie lifts easily from the pan.
  16. Alternatively, bake with fan on the middle rack at 170°C (340°F) until the phyllo is golden brown.
