Kolokithopita: as fun to say as it is to make. A great meal for the summer that can be served easily as both a full meal or with other Greek dishes; my personal favorite accompaniment would have to be some homemade Tzatziki. With only ~10 ingredients, this three-herb pie is very simple to make but will certainly impress. The cripyness of the phyllo (filo) dough contrasts perfectly the moist and delicious filling. This meal is both cheap and vegetarian, two things I love.
