Method
Follow the cooking sequence without leaving the page.
- We start by making the dough. Mix all the dry ingredients, then add the vinegar and oil and rub with your hands.
- Add the water gradually and knead well until you get a smooth, soft dough.
- Wrap the dough with plastic wrap, then cover it with a cloth.
- Let it rest for at least an hour until it rises well.
- Meanwhile, prepare the filling. Take the Swiss chard leaves, wash them well, then chop them finely.
- Put them in a pot over the heat on their own until they release their water.
- Discard the water, drain them, and squeeze them well.
- In a pan, place the finely chopped onion and stir over the heat with a splash of oil until softened.
- Add the Swiss chard, well squeezed, to the pan with the onion, along with the rest of the ingredients except the sumac. Stir, then turn off the heat.
- When the filling has cooled, add the sumac and stir.
- Once the dough has risen, pinch it into portions, roll it out, cut it, and fill the pies.
- Bake the Swiss chard pies in a hot oven until browned.
- Brush them with olive oil as soon as they come out of the oven and serve.
