Among the typical dishes Milos I particularly liked the "Pitarakia". "Pitarakia" are a kind of small panzerotto stuffed with cheese.

Recipe
In the meantime you can prepare the stuffing, grate the cheese and mix it with the dried mint, that's it!
When the 40 minutes have past, roll out the dough and cut some small circles out (about 15 cm diameter). Fill one half with the stuffing and fold the dough, creating a crescent.
Pay attention to join the edges well, help yourself with a fork.
Heat the cooking oil to a temperature of about 150 degrees (if you don't have the cooking thermometer, put a small piece of dough into the oil, as soon as the oil starts frying it should be ok). Put then the Pitarakia into the oil and lower the heat. When a side becomes golden turn it and wait the other side to become golden too.
Remove the Pitarakia and put them on kitchen paper so that they can release the oil in excess.
Now just taste them! Enjoy your Pitarakias!
