Sweet Potato and Greens Pie

I had a sweet potato that I needed to use, plus fresh chard from our garden, so I made a sweet potato and greens pie.

 

Ingredients:
1 onion
2-3 cloves garlic, optional, depending on taste
2-4 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp sugar

2 pounds greens (spinach, chard, cabbage, etc.) (if fresh, it should be washed carefully, and if frozen, it should be well thawed)

1 sweet potato

handful of black olives

1 dash salt

black pepper
1 package filo dough

Instructions:

1. Dice the onion. Mince the garlic, if using it. Preheat the oven to 190 C.
2. Gently fry the onion in some of the olive oil until golden, then add the garlic, if using it. Add the sugar so the onions caramelise.
3. Defrost the greens, if frozen, or steam it, if fresh. Add to the onion and garlic.
4. Thinly slice the sweet potato.
5. Chop the olives. Mix them into the greens. Season with salt and pepper.

6. Lightly oil a casserole dish. Line it with three sheets of filo, layered over one another so that the pieces hang over the edges of the dish.
7. Spread out some of the filling on top of the filo. Layer potato slices on top.
8. Place another sheet or two on top, then some more filling, then more potatoes. Repeat until the filling is all used up and then cover it with another sheet of dough. Brush it lightly with olive oil and tuck any excess edges in.
9. Bake the pie for 25-40 minutes, checking after about 20 minutes to see how golden and ready it is.
10. Serve and enjoy!
