About this dish

Pancetta, garlic, and Parmigiano Reggiano season this savory Italian pie, whose filling is 600 g of chard blanched, squeezed hard, and packed between two thin sheets of dough.

Water left in the chard soaks the thin bottom crust, so the leaves are wrung out thoroughly and the cooked filling is cooled before it is spread on the dough.

    Sauté pancetta and minced garlic in a pan until fragrant, add the chopped Swiss chard, and cook for 3 minutes.

Tips

Thoroughly dry the blanched Swiss chard to ensure the crust remains crispy and not soggy.
Cool the cooked chard filling before placing it on the dough, and prick the top evenly with a fork so steam can escape during baking.
