About Blatsara
Blatsara is a greens-and-cornmeal pie from Arta in Epirus. The municipal gastronomy guide’s version combines green vegetables, leek and spring onions with feta and eggs beneath a milk-and-cornmeal topping.
Dill and parsley give the filling a fresh herbal character. Feta supplies a salty, tangy contrast to the mild cornmeal and milk, with olive oil adding richness.
The pie has a cornmeal base and a milk-based cornmeal topping. Chopped greens, leek and cheese form its substantial middle, with the herbs distributed through the filling.
