Bourekakia Me Kremithakia Freska (Scallions in Filo)
6 bn Scallions Salt
-(white part & 1" green) Freshly ground black pepper
-chopped, to make about 3 c. 8 Filo pastry sheets; thawed
1/2 c Olive oil 2 tb Sesame seeds
3/4 c Chopped fresh dill
Toss the chopped scallions in a bowl with 1 tablespoon olive oil, the
chopped dill, salt and pepper.
Remove 8 sheets of filo from the package. Reseal package and
refrigerate it. Cover the filo you are using with a damp dish towel,
well wrung out, and try to work hastily, as the pastry sheet have a
tendency to dry out.
Lay out one sheet of filo and brush thoroughly with olive oil. Lay a
second sheet over the first, and brush again with olive oil. Leaving
a margin of 1 inch down one short side of the filo, sprinkle
one-fourth of the scallion mixture in a strip. Roll up from the same
side, to make a long tube, packing the ends well. Place on a greased
baking sheet.
Repeat this procedure three more times. Cut each tube diagonally
into four sections, brush with olive oil, and sprinkle the tops with
sesame seeds. Bake in an oven preheated to 350 F until the tops are
crisp and golden brown - about 30 minutes. They are good hot or cold.
