- First, make the syrup. In a saucepan, combine all the ingredients except for the honey and boil for 5 minutes. Remove from heat and add the honey. Stir until it dissolves, then set it aside to cool completely.
- Peel the pumpkin and grate it on the coarse side of a grater. Add a pinch of salt and place it in a colander to drain the liquids. Press occasionally with your hands to help the juices escape.
- In a cooking pot, heat the olive oil and add the pumpkin. Sauté for 5 minutes, stirring constantly, until it absorbs its liquids. Remove from heat and add the sugar, honey, orange zest, cinnamon, walnuts, and breadcrumbs. Stir well and set the mixture aside to cool completely.
- Grease a baking dish and layer three sheets of filo, sprinkling oil between each sheet. Spread half of the filling mixture on top. Layer another three sheets of filo, again oiling between them. Spread the remaining filling evenly over the surface. Finish by layering the remaining 6 sheets of filo, oiling between each one.
- Brush the top well with oil, then cut the pie into pieces. Pour a little water on the surface.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) with top and bottom heat for about an hour, placing the baking dish on the lowest rack.
- Once the pie is baked, pour the cooled syrup over it. Let the pie sit on the kitchen counter for about an hour and uncovered, so it absorbs the syrup.
