A beautiful Greek Pie filled with sweet onions, and herbaceous and morish stinging nettles.
In Greece my mum collected the stinging nettles along the creek beds under the magestic Meteora. In Australia, they self-seed and grow in her veggie patch in Autumn and Spring and then we are the lucky recipients of her beautiful pita creations!
Over the 70 years she has been collecting stinging nettles, her hands have been tolerised to their sting, and she either uses her bare hands to collect them, or the very thin gloves shown in the video. May I suggest you use heavy duty gardening gloves to collect yours!!!!
Once the nettles are massaged and gently macerated with salt, they lose their sting.
Watch now as my mum makes this deliciously sweet, herbaceous pie originating in Meteora, Greece!
