Chard Filo Layer Pie
Chard Filo Layer Pie
Ingredients:
- Sheets filo pastry (I used bought frozen pastry sheets)
- About 3 large bags of chard (use loads it cooks down to a really small amount)
- Oil
- 3 Onions
- Block of firm tofu
- Lemon juice
- Dried dill
- Sesame seeds
Directions:
- Chop and fry onions in a little oil until soft, put to one side
- Chop up chard into quite small bits and steam until wilted down in a pan with lid
- Squeeze out any excess water from the cooked chard and put to one side
- Squeeze the block of tofu to remove most of the water and mash up with the lemon juice, splash of oil and generous helping of dill
- Line a baking tin with parchment paper and brush on some oil
- Lay the first layer of filo on the parchment paper, brush with oil and lay another layer to form a sturdy base
- Then layer up mashed tofu, chard and onion mixture and filo sheets brushed with oil until you run out
- Top the last filo layer with a sprinkle of sesame seeds
- Whack the oven up to as high as she’ll go. Bake your pie until light brown on top and crispy on the base
- Serve hot, or works really well eaten cold the next day.
Notes:
Ah chard. This pie is a fun way to get yer greens in.
