Ingredients:
- 1 bunch rainbow chard, leaves removed and torn, stalks chopped into 1cm pieces
- 6 garlic cloves, chopped
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 teaspoons ghee or olive oil
- 1 bunch kale, chopped into 4cm pieces=
- 250g frozen spinach, thawed and squeezed
- Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 500g fresh ricotta
- 2 eggs, lightly beaten (reserve 1 teaspoon for egg wash)
- 1 handful dill, chopped
- 1 handful flat-leaf parsley, chopped
- 1 handful mint leaves, chopped
- Grated zest and juice of 1 lemon
- 250g halloumi, grated
- 1 tablespoon dried oregano
- 1 rectangular sheet shortcrust pastry
- 1 rectangular sheet puff pastry
- 1 tablespoon black and white sesame seeds
Optional ingredients:
Lemon wedges and a side of Sriracha and Kewpie mayonnaise – trust us, try it!
Method:
- Preheat the oven to 180’C (350’F).
- In a large frying pan over medium heat, fry the chard stalks, garlic and onion in the ghee or olive oil for 10 minutes.
- Turn the heat to high, add the chard and kale leaves and fry for a further 5 minutes.
- Add the spinach and season, then remove from the heat and allow to cool.
- In a large bowl, combine the ricotta, beaten egg (remembering to set some aside for the egg wash later), dill, parsley, mint, lemon zest and juice, halloumi, and dried oregano. Stir in chard mixture.
- On a large (50cm x 30cm) baking tray lined with baking paper, place down one rectangular sheet of shortcrust pastry. Spoon the ricotta and chard mix on top.
- Top with the sheet of puff pastry, crimp the edges to seal completely and score using long diagonal slashes.
- Whisk together the reserved egg and 1 tablespoon of water to make an egg wash. Brush over the pastry and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
- Bake for 40 minutes until golden and puffed.
To serve, simply place it on your best Joseph Joseph bamboo board with fresh lemon wedges and watch it disappear – all that will be left is a few crumbs to shake off your table linen.
