Is this like spanakopita?

I'm wondering the same. I don't know what it is.. I've never even heard the word before either.

Moussaka.. I could eat it every day in Greece.

Me neither! But it looks amaazing and so flaky with all of the layers

I love Horiatiki (village salad), and Avgolemono soup. For dessert, my favorite are kourabedies:

No, it's not like spanakopita. The ingredients are different and it is cooked differently. I'm not sure of all the ingredients but there is no cheese, plenty of spinach, celery leaves, parsley and lots of other greens (I have a list somewhere). The pastry is a single thin layer rolled by hand. The whole thing is cooked on a hotplate (I use a stainless steel hotplate on top of a gas stove) and then allowed to cook in its own steam by wrapping it in blankets for 1-2hrs. Then baste liberally with λαδολέμονο and you're done! Takes all morning to make them but they are worth it!

This sounds amazing and super fresh and herby! I will definitely try it out sometime soon
