 1 ½ kilos (3 lbs 6 oz) minced (or chopped) lamb1 kilo (2 lbs 4 oz) onions 5 tablespoons butter 10 eggs, lightly beaten 1 teacup milk 2 teacups semolina salt - pepper Cinnamon 1 kilo (2 lbs 4 oz) Filo pastry Heat half the butter in a pan and saute one finely diced onion. Add the minced (or chopped) lamb, salt and pepper, the cinnamon, two teacups water and cook, until all the water is gone. Quarter the remaining onions and boil them in broth (or in water containing the bones of the lamb) in another pot. When the onions are done, take them out and puree them. Strain the broth and keep only two teacups of it. Prepare a cream with the milk, the semolina and the broth.

Brush the bottom and sides of a pan with butter and the line it with half the sheets of Filo pastry, brushing each one with melted butter. Spread the minced (or chopped) meat evenly and pour the cream mixture over it. Cover with the remaining sheets of Filo pastry, brushing each one with butter, particularly the top one. Bake the pie in a medium oven, until its top starts to turn pale golden. |
