what do you mean go for the country phyllo? i went to a store here and got a #7 accidentally LOL..and it was way long like it was too much.
Looks delicious! Yummy!
Where can you buy pasturma?
You post right at dinner time and you make my mouth water! Thanks again for posting 😋
Kasseri is used traditionally and feta this came from Asia Minor in Greece don't know from which region it is thanks for the recipe
I love all your recipes. New ideas, bring em on 🤗. Thank God for Wegman's. I get all the Greek cheese I need
Congratulations on your 100k subscribers 🍾 🎉
You deserve it I’ve been following you from the start 😊
You're using a new camera! The video quality is very nice! Love the receipe too. 🙂
Could you recommend any alternatives for the Pastruma?
TY sweet Dimitroula mou! Ill try to make this. Maybe Ill do it in phyllo rolls.
If I were operating that camera, you'd see my hand slipping into view grabbing a slice!
I've never seen pasturma in the shops. Is there anything I could use instead?
My favorite 😊
Boy you’d be in trouble if you were Greek and didn’t like Phyllo!! Lol!
I want that right now! Can you buy pasturma anywhere? If not, what can you replace it with… prosciutto?
My fave cook on Utube! thank u for your recipes Dimitroula.
Looks delicious but I have never seen this meat for sale anywhere and I shop international grocery stores, maybe the wrong ones! On line it is $30 or $40 per lb. What else can we use that may be similar?
Any ideas on where to buy the pastotroma?
That is a very unique recipe! Never ever seen it anywhere and its the first time Ive seen the pasturama. Ill try the greek/medeterranian shops. Virginia is limited.
Wow what a beautiful pie Dimitari it looks wonderful 😍😍 I don’t know any of those cheeses so Gouda it is 🤣
We need greek aprons!!!! I dont need a Tshirt or mug! But a really great apron!!!. I usually buy the william and sonoma ones not just for my kitchen but I also use them in my garden. Black in the garden and blue for my kitchen they are my work horses!!!
Olives/greek herbs for garden! The kitchen ideas are endless!! Your feta logos would be great on kitchen aprons. Greek kitchen tools as well! I buy the plus size so I can wrap twuce and cover my whole body and it goes below my knees! Such great gifts!
Your dishes always look good. You and your family take care. Pamela in Detroit
Can we add eggs?
Same here, I never came across Pastruma. It sounds almost like pastrami but I guess there are differences, right? I will try to find it but if not, would bresaola for instance work as a substitute?
Oh, man! That looks awesome!
Dang I wish Phoenicia would partner with Shipt
meat and cheese! doesn’t get better than that
Dimitra is prosciutto or bacon a good substitute for pasturma?
Made this today!
So it’s kinda like a pizza….in a way? 🤔
I made this tonight. Bottom of pie was a soupy mess. Took one slice out and sopped up all the juices from veggies on the bottom. Put it back in the oven in hopes it will dry out the rest of the pie, especially the bottom crust. If it does not, next time I will sauté tomatoes and peppers before putting in pie.
