Περιγραφή
Chios is famous for its delicacies, and one of these is kopanistopita, which is essentially a fried cheese pie made with a distinctive spicy cheese called kopanisti. It is also made in small pieces, called kopanistopitakia. Chios kopanisti is made from fresh Chian cheese and myzithra, and with the addition of salt it takes on a spicy flavor. The kopanisti cheese is a mixture that has been kneaded and has matured for quite some time. Its spicy taste makes it one of the best accompaniments for ouzo.
Εκτέλεση
In a bowl add the flour, olive oil and ouzo and knead, gradually adding the lukewarm water until you have a pliable dough. Let it rest for a while and then divide it into small balls. Using a rolling pin, roll out each ball into a thin sheet on a floured surface. Cut into round or square pieces with a cutter and, using a brush, spread each sheet with the kopanisti cheese. Close the pieces by folding them in half and seal the little pies with a wet fork or with the special tool. Fry in hot oil until they turn golden. Serve hot or cold.
