A stunning seasonal pie that combines rainbow chard, creamy ricotta, and crispy pancetta in golden puff pastry. Quick to make and perfect hot or cold – your new favorite weeknight dinner! 🥧✨
Looking for a quick and nutritious dinner that doubles as tomorrow’s lunch? This colorful savory pie is your answer! Rainbow chard, a winter green powerhouse, brings not just vibrant color but also a wealth of nutrients to your table. Rich in vitamins A, C, and K, plus minerals like iron and magnesium, chard is one of winter’s most nutritious leafy greens. The stems, often overlooked, are packed with fiber and add a delightful texture to the filling.
The creamy ricotta brings protein and calcium, while the pancetta adds a savory depth. Making it vegetarian? Simply skip the pancetta – the pie is equally delicious without it! For extra plant-based protein, crumbled tempeh makes an excellent addition, soaking up all the wonderful flavors while keeping the dish hearty and satisfying.
What makes this pie special is its versatility. The decorative chard leaves on top transform a simple weeknight dinner into a stunning centerpiece, proving that seasonal cooking can be both beautiful and effortless. Ready in under an hour and perfect for meal prep, it’s delicious both hot from the oven or cold in your lunchbox the next day.
As we embrace late winter’s bounty, this pie celebrates the season’s greens in the most delicious way! Buon appetito!
