Eliopitta
Also known as: Ελιόπιττα
Cypriot olive-filled roulade with orange-juice dough, mint, coriander and sesame.
About Eliopitta
Ivy Liacopoulou's eliopita is a Cypriot olive pastry in a filled roulade form. Her account distinguishes this rolled pie from small turnovers and breads with olives throughout the dough.
Throumbes olives give the filling its concentrated savoury character. Onion, spring onion, mint, coriander and black pepper provide its aroma, while olive oil and fresh orange juice enrich the yeasted dough.
A sesame finish covers the exterior. The roulade offers a soft bread-like wrapper around the chopped olive filling, with coffee suggested as an accompaniment.
