Thanksgiving is not a Greek celebration, but I'm sure that there are several Greek pies which would be a welcome and delicious addition to the Thanksgiving table. Here are some suggestions. Click on the links for the recipes.
A tasty and healthy pie. This can be served as a side dish, as part of a buffet or as a delicious snack.
Spinach Pie, or Spanakopita, comes in many forms in Greece. This recipe is for individual round, 'coiled' pies - see the photo.
This one is the more classical spinach pie and can be eaten as a side dish or is a very tasty and nutritious snack by itself.
CHEESE PIE (TIROPITA)
A cheese pie which is incredibly easy to prepare and is unbelievably light.
CHEESE PIES WTIH YOGHURT DOUGH
This is another variety of cheese pie. This is one made with Greek strained yoghurt. Please note, the yoghurt is not part of the filling, but is part of the dough itself, which gives it its own special taste. These small pies can be served as a side dish, or as a meze or in a buffet.
ZUCCHINI PIE (KOLOKITHOPITA)
A light and tasty pie which can be eaten hot or cold.
POTATO PIE (PATATOPITA)
This is a relatively easy to make pie that seems to be a favourite of a lot of people, especially kids! Extremely filling and delicious!
There are several recipes for meat pie, but the one given is here is speciality from Ioannina, which is in the north west of Greece. Lovely and nutritious!
PUMPKIN PIES (KOLOKITHOPITA)
These pies have the sweet, juicy taste of the pumpkin and the delicious filo pastry. I personally eat them with cream, but then I eat cream with everything!
A delicious, refreshing pie which can be served warm or cold. It can also be served with ice cream.
Eat and Enjoy!
