Balkan lamb and leek pie
Pies
Call it pita, banitsa, or zelnik, the people of the Balkans love their filled phyllo pies. Cheese, leeks, spinach, cabbage, pumpkin, apple, or meat fill these. My mom used to make one filled with ground beef, onion, and a lot of black pepper (I mean *a lot* of black pepper!). I decided to use ground lamb and leek and coil the little rolls into a round baking dish. This makes a small 10-inch pie but you can certainly double the ingredients to fill a 14- or 15-inch deep-dish pizza pan.
