This Great Taste Awards 2022 winner is only available in Manchester, but there is also UK-wide postal delivery.
Perfect for a picnic or a quick meal, these award-winning Melianthos kouroú pies are the ultimate finger food.
They are just the right size to finish in a few bites, but rich enough to leave you feeling full - and perhaps a little happy - after just one.
Made with excellent ingredients, the dough brings together white, spelt and rye flours, creamy yoghurt, free-range eggs, fragrant butter, extra virgin olive oil and organic cold-pressed sunflower oil.
The result is a crust that is tender yet crumbly and an absolute joy to bite into. In fact, they taste so good that you can’t have only one!
“This is so obviously a well prepared and well made pie. The crimping is fabulous around the edge. It's stunning to look at. The pastry is so flavourful - texturally interesting too. A little nutty and full of crispy crunch. The filling - well....where do we start? The generosity of it? The rich feta and eggs, the fresh mint and copious amount of chard, spinach, onions and leek? You have packed if full of flavour - to the brim and beyond. Beautifully balanced and seasoned. What a pleasure to judge!” - Great Taste Awards 2022
These spanakopitákia are carefully filled and pleated, egg-washed for shininess and sprinkled with sesame and baked until crispy at the base.
The filling contains onions, leeks and chards, sautéed slowly in extra virgin olive oil. The tender spinach is lightly wilted and added to the mix off-heat, along with dill, spearmint and a bit of tarragon. The creamy filling is enriched with free-range eggs, feta and a bit of ground pecorino.
