Chard Pie

Chard Pie is a delightful Paleo Greek appetizer that combines tender chard with aromatic herbs encased in a crispy almond flour crust. This dish is not only flavorful but also showcases the fresh, vibrant taste of Mediterranean cuisine.

Ingredients

• Almond flour - 200 grams
• Egg - 1 large
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Chard - 200 grams, chopped
• Onion - 1 small, finely chopped

Steps

3. Press the dough into a 20 cm (8 inch) pie dish evenly across the bottom and up the sides.
4. In a skillet, heat a tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat, then sauté the onion until translucent, about 5 minutes.
