20 minsCook
45 minsIngredients
| 2 tablespoons olive oil | |
| 1 onion, chopped | |
| 2 cloves garlic, chopped | |
| 800g greens (I used a mix of rainbow chard, silverbeet, beet and turnip leaves) | |
| 1 medium turnip, carrot or beetroot, peeled and grated | |
| 2 eggs, lightly beaten | |
| 2 tablespoons milk | |
| 200g haloumi, grated (or use feta) | |
| 1 packet puff pastry (I used Paneton) |
Instructions
| 1. | Heat the oil in a frying pan and add the onion, garlic and the chopped stems of the greens. |
| 2. | Fry with a good sprinkling of salt until soft but uncoloured (at least 5 minutes). |
| 3. | Add the turnip, carrot or beetroot and cook for 4-5 minutes until tender. |
| 4. | Shred the green leaves and add to the pan and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes. |
| 5. | Set aside to cool, then squeeze out any liquid (be scrupulous here otherwise you will have a soggy pie). |
| 6. | Mix 2 tablespoons of the beaten egg with the milk, then set aside to use for glazing the pie. |
| 7. | Add the remaining egg to the vegetables along with the haloumi and season generously. |
| 8. | Heat the oven to 200°C. |
| 9. | On a piece of baking paper, roll the pastry to approx. 25cm x 35cm and put the vegetables in the centre (it will seem like a lot). |
| 10. | Roll it up tightly, pinching the pastry seams together, put the seam-side down and crimp the edges. |
| 11. | Brush with the egg wash and cut a few slits in the pastry to allow steam to escape. |
| 12. | Bake for 30-35 minutes or until the pastry is golden. |
