Meat Pie from Cephalonia

THIS FAMOUS pie, whose spices bring to mind the meat pies of Arab and Sephardic traditions, is unique to Cephalonia and very different from the pies baked in other parts of Greece. Marinated finely chopped lamb and pork, tomato, rice and cheese are mixed together, seasoned with cinnamon, allspice, orange zest and all sorts of fresh and dried herbs and cooked slowly in the oven between two layers of rich phyllo pastry. My version is loosely based on a recipe I got from Gerasimos Konstantatos
