Athenian pasty (recipe)

Based on a dish I was served just around the corner from Hadrian’s Library, Athens (Βιβλιοθήκη του Αδριανού, Αθήνα).

Ingredients per pasty:

• Pre-made pastry
• 50g feta
• 2 cherry tomatoes
• Black pepper
• Dash of olive oil

Method:

1. Put feta on pastry as shown
2. Halve cherry tomatoes, arrange as shown
3. Grind on black pepper
4. Drizzle on olive oil
5. Cover feta & tomato with excess pastry as if you’re wrapping a present, pinching pastry together with your fingers to seal it
6. Getting on a little more black pepper
7. Bake for ~17 minutes @ 220 C
