Traditional bourekia from Samos

Peel and cut the pumpkin in cubes and boil it in water.

When it is well cooked, add salt and empty it in a strainer to drain slowly on its own (better to leave it overnight).

Knead the dough and roll it out with a rolling pin.

Cut strips of about 2-3 cm width and 20 cm length.

Prepare the mixture. Mash the pumpkin with a fork. Sauté the onions lightly and add them to the pumpkin together with the sugar, oil and cheese.

Stuff the strips and wrap them, fry them in olive oil and place them in a strainer so that the oil drains out.
