Steps:
- Gather the ingredients.
- Sauté the onion and garlic in hot olive oil.
- When the onion softens, add the meat and brown well.
- Dissolve the tomato paste in the wine and stir in, along with salt, pepper, herbs, and water.
- Cover, reduce heat, and simmer for 1 1/2 to 2 hours until the meat is very tender and there's some liquid in the pan. (Cooking time and the amount of water needed will depend on the meat. If more water is needed during cooking, add boiling water.)
- Stir in rice and turn off heat. Prepare the phyllo.
- Preheat oven to 340F (170C). Oil a 16 1/2 x 12 inch pan (or equivalent).
- Place the bottom sheet of phyllo on the bottom and spread filling evenly.
- Place the smallest sheet of phyllo on top of the filling, brush with olive oil, and place the final sheet of phyllo on top, and brush with oil.
- Tuck or crimp edges of the dough, and bake at 340F (170C) for 1 hour.
- The kreatopita is done when the corners of the crust don't stick to the pan.
- Remove the pan from the oven and cover with a clean towel for 1 hour before serving.
- Cut into 4-inch pieces and enjoy!

Steps:
- Filling: Place sliced onion in a colander. Pour salted boiled water over them, rinse and drain well.
- Add onions to a coated pan and fry for 2 minutes.
- Add beef, cinnamon, salt and pepper and stir well.
- Add 1/2 cup of water and boil until just the mixture is left.
- Transfer mixture to a mixing bowl and cool.
- Prepare béchamel Sauce by melting butter in small pan whisk in flour and add hot milk. Whisk.
- Add 3 eggs, cheese, bread and béchamel sauce to the filling and set aside.
- Pastry: Combine the pastry ingredients, except for the egg yolk/milk, in a mixing bowl.
- Knead it into a pliable, non-sticky dough.
- Separate the dough into 2 balls, one slightly larger than the other.
- Take the larger ball and roll out enough to more than cover your oven dish. Place it in a buttered pie pan, covering the bottom, and sides, going slightly over the edge at the top.
- Now place the filling on top of the crust and level it.
- Roll out the second dough ball and cover the filling.
- Butter the edge of the bottom crust and fold it over inwards to cover the edge of the top crust and make a border by pressing the edges with your fingertips.
- Mix the milk and egg yolk and brush the surface with the mixture.
- Poke a hole in the middle to allow the steam to escape and stick the rest of the pastry with a fork.
- Place in a preheated oven at 325F degrees for about 45 minutes, until it is golden brown.

Steps:
- Put the spinach into a large pan. Pour over a couple tbsp water, then cook until just wilted. Tip into a sieve, leave to cool a little, then squeeze out any excess water and roughly chop. Roughly chop the tomatoes and put into a bowl along with the spinach, feta and eggs. Mix well.
- Carefully unroll the filo pastry. Cover with some damp sheets of kitchen paper to stop it drying out. Take a sheet of pastry and brush liberally with some of the sundried tomato oil. Drape oil-side down in a 22cm loosebottomed cake tin so that some of the pastry hangs over the side. Brush oil on another piece of pastry and place in the tin, just a little further round. Keep placing the pastry pieces in the tin until you have roughly three layers, then spoon over the filling. Pull the sides into the middle, scrunch up and make sure the filling is covered. Brush with a little more oil.
- Heat oven to 180C/fan 160C/gas 4. Cook the pie for 30 mins until the pastry is crisp and golden brown. Remove from the cake tin, slice into wedges and serve with salad.

KREATOPITA (GREEK MEAT PIE USING PHYLLO PASTRY)
This is a yummy meat pie often enjoyed in Greece. Of course, every household has their own version - this one's mine. The mushrooms are not traditional at all. They're my way of making the pie even tastier and ensuring my kids enjoy a vegetable they wouldn't otherwise eat. This could be served either as a snack (as eaten as street food here in Greece) or as a main, accompanied by a nice salad. Great to bring along, fully-baked, to a picnic or potluck.

Steps:
- In a large saucepan, coat bottom of pan with olive oil and add ground beef (and mushrooms, if using). Cook, breaking up meat with back of spoon, and stirring often until meat and mushrooms are browned and liquid emitted has evaporated (make sure all the liquid has evaporated - you don't want a soggy pita!).
- Add onions, garlic, tomato paste, oregano and cinnamon and cook until liquid emitted from onions has evaporated, too.
- Remove from heat and allow to cool for about 20 minutes, stirring a couple of times to bring hot filling up (to cool faster).
- Add cheese, parsley and eggs to meat filling and combine thoroughly to blend. Taste filling and adjust seasoning to suit your taste.
- In a 15 x 10 inch pan (or large pan), layer half the phyllo sheets, brushing each one generously with olive oil (use a pastry brush), before adding the next sheet of pastry.
- Pour the meat filling into the phyllo-lined pan.
- Layer the remaining phyllo sheets in the same way, over the filling, brushing each one generously with olive oil before adding the next sheet of pastry. When you reach the last sheet (the top one), brush this one slightly more generously than the rest, tuck in any overhang you have neatly into the pie and score pie, lengthwise, into 4, using the tip of a small, sharp knife and making sure you don't cut all the way through the bottom of the pastry (just the top crust and slightly into the filling).
- Position baking rack in bottom third of oven and preheat to 190°C (375°F).
- Bring your pan next to the sink and run the cold water tap. Wet the tips of your fingers and shake the water onto the pastry. Do this a few times to ensure droplets of water fall all over the pastry (this ensures a crisp crust upon baking).
- Bake pie for approximately one hour, until you achieve a deep golden crust. If you have a flat-bottomed oven (no element), do put your pan on the floor of the oven for the last 20 minutes or so to ensure an even crisper bottom crust.
- The pita is best slightly warm or at room temperature.
- Enjoy!

MEDITERRANEAN MEAT PIES (SFEEHA)
These savory little meat pies are a takeoff on a recipe from my Lebanese mother-in-law (who is one of the very best cooks I know). She makes the dough from scratch, but I use puff pastry instead to save time. Great for an appetizer or as a side dish!

Steps:
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and stir in the ground beef and ground lamb, chopped onion, pine nuts, cinnamon, and salt and black pepper. Cook and stir until the meat is crumbly, evenly browned, and no longer pink. Drain and discard any excess grease.
- Stir in the lemon juice; taste and adjust the seasonings, and let the meat mixture cool.
- Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a baking sheet or line it with parchment paper.
- Roll out the thawed pastry sheets to about 1/8-inch thickness. Using a sharp 3-inch round cookie cutter, cut out at least 9 rounds per sheet. Lightly brush the inside edges with a little water, and place about 2 teaspoons of filling into the middle of each round. Fold the pastry round in half to cover the filling and seal the edges well. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet and repeat with the remaining dough circles.
- Brush each pie with a little egg wash. Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes.
