Ingredients

  • 1 small package puff pastry
  • 6 bunches of acelga (chard)
  • 6 eggs
  • Breadcrumbs
  • Grated cheese
  • Parsley
  • 2 teaspoons minced garlic
  • Seasoning to taste

Directions

1

Remove the stems of the acelga (these stems will become useful for another recipe called Potaje de acelga).

2

Wash the leaves very well to remove any grit or soil. Boil the acelga leaves, drain really well, and chop them. Fry them for a few minutes in hot olive oil then set aside.

3

Roll out the pastry and lay on an oven-proof pie dish leaving sufficient pastry to close the pie later.

4

Beat the eggs and add all the ingredients to make a nice filling.

5

Add to the acelga and mix all together.

6

Fill the pie dish with this “relleno” or filling and close the pie with the pastry.

7

Bake in the oven at 150°C (300°F) for about 30 minutes or until the pie is nice and golden.
