Greek Lenten Leek Pie

These delicious pies are sold all through Lent in Greece. Use ready-made phyllo pastry, or make your own by rolling out a flour-and-water dough softened with a little oil so fine you can see the pastry board through it. A worthy task for Lent. The Greeks gather dozens of wild greens from the countryside at this time of year—all fully identifiable by a botanist but not necessarily by the rest of us.
