Plastos is the pie of poverty, as it contains humble greens (preferably wild and tame) and the flour of the pour, cornflour or otherwise
“corn-meal”.
It is a easy recipe without any difficulty, as you do not have to find or make a phyllo (Greek pastry sheet).
The crust created on its surface is particularly crispy and delicious.
In today’s nutrition, greens are treasure of course! Especially the wild ones of the field.
Try to make it (though you do not have wild greens!) as it is quick, very nutritious and very easy.
You can easily skip the butter (to reduce calories and to make it fasty!) and you can also easily add feta cheese (to make it even more
delicious).
In case you add feta remove the mashed garlic. Both are not needed.
I hope you make oftentimes this recipe that gives you the most nutritious ingredients to you and those who taste it!
