Food Fare: Middle Eastern RecipesEliotes

Cypriot olive pies

 

Olive Filling for Eliotes:

Pastry for Eliotes:

Preheat oven to 350-degrees F.

 

Filling: In a bowl, combine chopped black olives, onion, coriander and dried mint. Mix well; set aside.

 

Pastry: In another bowl, combine flour and baking powder. Pour in both oils; rub oil into flour mixture using fingers until flour is well-coated. Pour in orange juice; mixture will appear rather messy but continue to stir until dough becomes soft and pliable. Break off small pieces of dough; roll into round shapes about the size of a small saucer or use a round pastry cutter.

 

Assembly: Fill rounds with about one heaping teaspoon of olive mixture; roll up to seal. Baking: Place filled rounds on a greased cookie sheet; bake for about twenty minutes or until pies are golden brown. Recipe makes about thirty pies.
