One good meat pie deserves another! Our second recipe for the Greek Pie Drive is a Kreatopita (meat pie) from the beautiful Ionian Island of Kefalonia. Kefalonia is known for its meat pies and there are many varieties. Some are made with thin flaky fillo, others made with thicker pastry. Some are made with small pieces of meat and others are made with minced/ground meat. Some are made with a pre-cooked filling and are others cook the filling ingredients when the pita is baked.
This recipe was shared with me by Persefoni, another beautiful Kali Orexi fillo student, who learned this family recipe from her cousin in Kefalonia. Tender pieces of pork and beef, are enveloped in a spiced gravy and encased in a thick, crunchy pastry. My mouth is watering just thinking about it! Do make this recipe! You will LOVE it!
