Filo meat pie step by step

1. Finely the onions and garlic. I sometimes put them in food processor to add the taste but avoid onion texture in the pie..
2. Brown onion and garlic until golden, taking care not to burn. Add minced meat and rest of the spices. Mix well and cook until meat is done. Taste and add more spices if needed..
3. Set aside to cool and then add 2 eggs, mixing well..
4. Prepare filo by taking it out of the box and covering with a moist tea towel so it doesn’t dry. Add a cup / bowl of olive oil and fizzy water..
5. Oil the baking pan (round or square). Layer 3-4 sheets of file on the bottom, oiling each layer with a pastry brush. You can lay out beetle or ruffle the sheets, which will have an uneven effect when our is cut..
6. Sprinkle 3-4 spoons of filling on top. Cover with another filo sheet and sprinkle fizzy water. Add another layer of filling, followed by a filo sheet, and then oil well with pastry brush. Repeat the process until the pie is no more than 5-7 cm thick..
7. Add 1-2 additional sheets of filo, oiling between the layers. Make sure that edges of the pie are piled well, otherwise the pie will be dry when baked. Pierce the pie with a fork 5 or 6 times to help baking. Cover with aluminium foil..
8. Pre-heat oven to 200C. Bake the pie until edges start to brown, approximately 25-30’. Remove aluminium foil and bake for another 10-15 min or until the top is golden and crisp..
9. Serve with soup, salad or as an appetiser. It’s also very tasty cold so it’s brilliant for leftovers..
