Olive and Tomato Pita

Greeks snack a lot and their favourite snacks are pies (pites), or, if you are British, 'pasties' might be a better word to convey the idea.

To give some examples, there are tyropita (cheese pie), loukanikopita (sausage pie), spanakopita (spinach pie, often including cheese), etc.

The other day, we discovered a barkery near our flat and decided to try, and to our joy they have some interesting pies.

From several interesting ones, we picked up one (well, actually Hubby picked up one, me not being pie lover). It was quite long; maybe near 30 cm.



Inside, there were olive paste and tomato (+ potato, I thought) paste in two individual lines.



Pie was fresh and fraky and the combination of fragrant olive and tangy tomato was a great idea.

Greeks tend to be very conservative and traditionalist in cooking and to find such a new / different things is often very difficult. We will be back to try some other things.
