Swiss Chard Pie (Pezik Mücveri)

v

This is a delicious recipe typical from the Black Sea region.

Makes 4-6 servings

1 bunch swiss chard (about 750 g) * 1 onion * 1 tbsp flour * 2 eggs * 2 cups cooked rice * dry mint * black pepper * salt * olive oil to fry

Wash the swiss chard and cut the stems. Mince the swiss chard and boil with water. Filter and reserve. In a bowl, mix the eggs, the flour, the minced onion, the cooked rice and all the seasonings. Add the swiss chard and mix well. Put oil in a large and anti-adherent frying pan. The pan must be completely covered with olive oil. Pour the mixture in the whole area of the pan. Cook on low heat, one of the sides, for about 10 minutes. When that side is cooked, fry the other side of the mixture. For that, use a plate with the same diameter of the frying pan or bigger. Place the dish on the pan and turn the pan, so that the mixture falls on the plate. Place the side that has not been cooked in the pan. Cook that side for about 10 minutes. Let cool down a little and turn on a serving plate. Serve cut into slices.

I've only recently started to explore the delights of Turkish cuisine, and already I'm hooked. I would love to try this recipe, as I am a big fan of beet greens. Very healthy and tasty too I am sure.
