Walnut pie from Lesvos
Walnut pie from Lesvos
Directions
- Baste a baking pan with oil. Mix the nutmeg, the walnut and the sugar.
- Spread 2 sheets of pastry and spread part of the mixture over them.
- Add some oil and continue spreading layers of filo pastry and mixture until you spread the last filo sheets.
- Baste the top filo sheets well with oil. Score the filo to mark square pieces and bake in moderate oven until the pie gets brown.
- In the meantime prepare the syrup as the following instructions indicate.
- Place all ingredients in a saucepan and boil. Stir until the syrup thickens.
- It does not have to be very thick since it will be sprinkled over the pie and will be absorbed.
- When the pie is ready, remove from the oven and pour the syrup all over it.
- Let the pie cool and then serve.
