| 1. Put the grated pumpkin in a colander (sieve) and toss with 2 tsps salt. | 2. Allow to drain for 1 hour. | 3. After 1 hour, squeeze pumpkin between hands to remove extra water. | 4. Heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat and add pumpkin and onion. | 5. Saute gently for 8-10 minutes to evaporate more liquid. | 6. Remove from heat, let cool 5 minutes and stir in cheese, parsley, dill, breadcrumbs, milk, some pepper and the eggs. | 7. Combine this mixture well. | 8. Preheat oven to 375°F. | 9. Get a 13 X 9 inch pan and brush with some melted butter. | 10. Start layering the phyllo pastry in the pan, brushing each layer with butter before adding the next. | 11. Use up 1/2 the phyllo+ 2 extra sheets. | 12. Spoon the pumpkin filling into the prepared pan and turn any overhanging phyllo inwards, over the filling. | 13. Layer the remaining phyllo sheets neatly on top, buttering each before adding the next. | 14. Butter the last sheet VERY generously. | 15. Cut away any overhang and, with the tip of a small, sharp knife, cut gently through the top layers of pastry, lengthwise, into 3 strips. | 16. Be careful not to cut all the way down through the pastry, you just want to pierce the top few layers. | 17. Cut through the pastry in the width too, creating the pieces that will eventually be served when the pie is baked. | 18. Bake pie for approximately 1 hour, until a lovely golden-brown colour. | 19. Remove, and allow to rest for 15-20 minutes before cutting all the way through the pre-cut pieces to serve. | 20. Serve hot or cold. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
