Courgette Pie (Kolokythopita)

Written by Published on Updated on November 18, 2022 in Uncategorized

Hi everyone, I finally got to the market this morning and picked up the ingredient which was missing yesterday for my recipe.  This also is a simple Greek pie mostly made during the summer season with its lovely taste of Courgette and herbs.  There is no phyllo involved in this recipe, so all it is basically is the mixing of the ingredients, and  placing into a baking pan. 

Before my little vegetable garden was destroyed by the snow storm we had a few years ago, I was growing my own vegetables, and herbs which I loved to do.  I found growing my own vegetables and flowers is so rewarding.   But I did promise myself that I would purchase a new small off ground garden in the coming months. I am hoping maybe around the end of September. 🙂    I hope you will enjoy! 🙂  

COURGETTE PIE (KOLOKYTHOPITA)

Print Recipe Pin Recipe

Ingredients
  

  • 3 large Courgettes
  • 100 grams Parmesan Cheese grated
  • 100 grams Feta Cheese in small cubes
  • 1 large Onion grated
  • 3 Eggs beaten
  • 150 grams All Purpose Flour
  • 50 grams bread crumbs
  • 1/2 cup of Olive Oil
  • 1/4 cup Dille chopped
  • 1/4 cup Parsley chopped
  • Salt
  • Pepper

Instructions
 

  • Grate Courgette in a bowl, and add 1 teaspoon of salt, and then place into a strainer for at least 2 hrs. so that all the water is drained out. Just to be sure squeeze the Courgettes so that it is completely dried from water.
  • Place Courgette into a large bowl and slowly start adding in all the ingredients. Start off with the eggs and then Feta and continue with the herbs, bread crumbs, flour.
  • Just a note that the Parmesan Cheese and Olive Oil should be the last ingredients tossed into the mixture.
  • I use a tart baking pan for this recipe, if you don’t have one, you can use any small baking pan. Oil brush the pan first, and then sprinkle flour on all sides so that the Courgette mixture does not stick to the baking pan.
  • Bake for 1 hr. at 180 degrees and until golden brown on top and bottom. When it is baked set aside to cool off for about 1/2 hr.

Welcome to a small corner of my Greek Heritage. Growing up in New York from Greek parents, was a challenge of its own...but the traditional food, tastes and aromas that my mother cooked always travelled me back to Greece. My mother is a wonderful cook, our house would always have that smell of home cooked food. I remember very clearly that we were only allowed fast food, once a week, that was a huge day for myself and my brother. Jumping up and down in the back car seat, laughing, just being kids. It is true that we all like to eat different foods, taste, smell, even try food that looks different than our regular meals at home and I think that is so natural. In my teens, I was not really into cooking, I enjoyed my magazines after school, listening to music, and just taking a breather. There were times that I would glance at some of my mom's recipes, more out of curiosity than to actually try to cook them. At that time I did not realise that cooking would become my passion one day. Slowly, I would start to look into my mom's recipes a bit more each day and I started to find it interesting as a hobby. Each month I would go into our neighborhood bookstore and pick up my monthly book, until one day I decided to stroll over into the cooking section. That summer was the first time I actually bought a cooking magazine....and I loved it. Cooking and baking started out as a hobby, but now after many years it is my passion. Exploring the cuisines, the spices, the oils, the scents, the variety of smells and tastes that exist. It was and still is an amazing journey without limits. So, come along with me on this adventure, and I hope you enjoy my recipes. Sophie
