Spring Greens Pie
Ingredients
2 bunches fresh Swiss chard or spinach
3 cups cottage cheese
1 cup chopped walnuts
2 teaspoons garam masala (a powdered curry blend) or any herb or spice blend you prefer
1 tablespoon Bragg’s (available at your local natural foods store) or good-quality soy sauce
½ cup grated cheese (cheddar or Monterey jack are good)
(for pie shell see
Recipe of the Day - April 26 (crunchy pie shell).)
Preparation
Preheat oven to 350F. Wash and chop the greens coarsely. Steam lightly, squeeze out as much liquid as possible, and chop again, bite-sized or smaller.
Mix greens with cottage cheese and walnuts. Sprinkle with spices or herbs. Add Bragg’s or soy sauce and stir well.
Spoon in to a baked Crunchy Pie Shell, or over plain mashed potatoes patted into a baking dish. Top with grated cheese.
Bake for 10 minutes, just to melt the cheese.
Serves 6.
