Kolokotes

Kolokotes are traditional Greek savory pastries, typically made with a thin, pastry dough filled with a mixture of ingredients like chopped vegetables (commonly pumpkins or other seasonal vegetables), herbs, and sometimes feta cheese or meat. The filled pastries are folded into a semi-circular shape and baked until golden brown, resulting in a flavorful and satisfying snack or meal. Popular in Cyprus and Greece, Kolokotes are enjoyed for their combination of crisp exterior and savory filling, often served warm or at room temperature, reflecting local culinary traditions.
