About the dish

Manitaropita is a traditional pie that's especially popular in Kastoria. Although there are many variations, the pie is usually made with thick sheets of phyllo dough that are filled with a combination of sautéed portobello mushrooms, onions, garlic, tomatoes, olive oil, mint, parsley, oregano, thyme, olives, and crumbled feta cheese. The pie is often brushed with olive oil and sprinkled with sesame seeds before baking. Once baked until golden brown, manitaropita is left to cool down, and it's then cut into slices before being served.
