Ingredients
Broccoli (x1 head)
Silverbeet (x1 large bunch. (Chard for my Ozzie friends))
White onion (x 1)
Garlic (x 2 cloves - crushed)
Oregano ( x a good shake if using dried or semi dried, a good handful chopped if using fresh)
Basil ( x a good shake if using dried or semi dried, a good handful chopped if using fresh)
Italian parsley ( x a good shake if using dried or semi dried, a good handful chopped if using fresh)
Lemon juice and rind (x 1)
Feta ( x 50g)
Ricotta (x 125g / 1/2 pottle of a standard one)
Cottage cheese - lite (x 125g / 1/2 pottle of a standard one)
Egg (x 1)
Pre-rolled, reduced-fat puff pastry (x 1 sheet)
Method
Preheat the oven to 180ºC in on a normal oven setting (not fan)
Roughly chop up the brocolli into bite sized florets, chuck in the microwave to steam (approx 3 mins). Roughly chop up the silverbeet (throw out the white stalks), wash and shake / spin out excess water. Put aside.
Dice the onion and crush the garlic into a frying pan with a bit of cooking oil. Cook until smells good and a little translucent. Then chuck in the silverbeet and stir until it starts to go dark and gets smaller.
Once complete, chuck the silverbeet concoction into a large mixing bowl. Add in the broccoli. Zest and juice the lemon and put that in too. Shake in the herbs.
In a new bowl, lightly whisk the egg then add in the 1/2 ricotta and 1/2 cottage cheese and mix together. (To keep the remainder just put them into the freezer in their pottles with the lids on. They last about 3 months)
Drop the egg / ricotta / cottage cheese mixture in with the veges, crumble in the feta and stir well so it’s all mixed.
Line a baking tin (approx 20cm x 20cm) with baking paper and put in the pie mixture. Spread evenly across the tin. Place the pastry over top and wait for it to soften then tuck in the edges.
Stick it in the preheated oven for about 30 -40 minutes at 180ºC until nicely browned.
Chop it and serve it up with a sprinkle of some more basil or parsley to look fancy. Nom nom nom.
