Horta pie (hortopita) recipe
 In a lot of Mediterranean countries, foraging for wild greens (horta in Greek) is part of life. I have often asked why we don’t we do this more back home. There is plenty to choose from: nettles, wild parsley, purslane, sea kale, dandelions and wild garlic to name but a few. This pie is also well worth making with leaves you can buy, such as chard, spinach, radicchio or rocket. 1kg/2lb 4oz mixed greens (such as dandelion leaves, wild garlic, nettles, sea beet, spear-leaved orache, sea arrowgrass, spinach, chard), washed and chopped2 medium or 3 small onions, halved and sliced1 lemon, juice only 2 free-range eggs600g/1lb 5oz feta, crumbled or chopped1 tsp salt20 turns black peppermillolive oil, for greasing and brushing10 sheets filo pastry 1kg/2lb 4oz mixed greens (such as dandelion leaves, wild garlic, nettles, sea beet, spear-leaved orache, sea arrowgrass, spinach, chard), washed and chopped 2 medium or 3 small onions, halved and sliced 1 lemon, juice only 2 free-range eggs 600g/1lb 5oz feta, crumbled or chopped 1 tsp salt 20 turns black peppermill olive oil, for greasing and brushing 10 sheets filo pastry Method To make the filling, combine the greens, onions and lemon juice in a very large bowl, then add the eggs and feta and mix well.
