Food Tip |
Saute the scallions in the 3 tablespoons butter in a
large frying pan and add the meat. Simmer a few
minutes, then toss in the zucchini, eggplant,
tomatoes, and parsley and season with salt and pepper.
Cover the pan and simmer for 30 minutes, adding the
coriander and oregano during the last 10 minutes.
Remove from the heat and stir in the cheese. (The
mixture should be thick; if any liquid remains, dust
lightly with bread crumbs to absorb.) Line a 9 x 12 x
3-inch baking pan with 6 filo sheets, buttering each.
Spread the filling over the filo evenly, then top with
the remaining filo sheets, buttering each as before.
Score the top few filo sheets into squares or
diamonds. Bake in a medium oven for 35 to 40 minutes,
until golden in color and the dough is crisp. Remove
from the oven, and let stand for 10 minutes, then cut
and serve warm.
