MIXED-GREENS PIE WITH CORNMEAL CRUST



Mixed-Greens Pie With Cornmeal Crust image

Provided by Sara Dickerman

Categories     dinner, lunch, main course, side dish

Time 1h45m

Yield Serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 15

1/3 cup, plus 3 tablespoons, extra-virgin olive oil
2 large leeks, white and light green parts only, cut into 1/8-inch slices (about 2 cups)
1 pound mixed dark greens (chard, lacinato kale, spinach), washed, stems removed and cut into broad ribbons
2 teaspoons kosher salt
4 scallions, white and light green parts only, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons finely chopped dill
3 tablespoons roughly chopped flat-leaf parsley
2 ounces kefalograviera, kefaloteri or kasseri cheese, grated (about a heaping 1/2 cup)
1/2 cup ricotta cheese
1/2 cup manouri or feta cheese
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1 1/4 cup whole milk
1 cup cornmeal
All-purpose flour, as needed
Greek yogurt, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Grease a 10-inch straight-sided skillet or baking pan with 2 tablespoons of the olive oil. In a deep-sided sauté pan at least 12 inches wide, heat 1/3 cup olive oil over medium heat. Add the leeks and cook, stirring occasionally, until they have softened but not colored, about 10 minutes. Add as many of the greens as can fit in the pot, along with 1 teaspoon salt. Stir and cover until the greens have wilted, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the remaining greens, stir, and cover until they have wilted, another 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the scallions, dill and parsley. Transfer the mixture to a colander set over a bowl and let cool to room temperature.
  • Meanwhile, in a large bowl, mix the kefalograviera, ricotta and manouri. Squeeze excess liquid from the cooled greens and add them to the cheeses. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Stir in the eggs and set aside.
  • In a small saucepan, heat the milk over medium heat until it starts to bubble. Whisk in the cornmeal and 1 teaspoon salt. Continue stirring as the mixture thickens into an almost unstirrable paste. Remove from the heat. With lightly floured fingers, press half of the mixture into a thin layer across the bottom of the prepared pan. Top with the greens and cheese filling, spreading each evenly to the edges. Stir about 1/2 cup water into the remaining cornmeal to make a milkshake-thick batter (there will be a few lumps). Pour the thinned batter across the filling (some greens will poke through). Drizzle the remaining tablespoon of olive oil across the top of the pie. Bake until firm and golden brown around the edges, about 1 hour.
  • Serve warm or at room temperature, with Greek yogurt on the side.

BLUEBERRY CORNMEAL GALETTE



Blueberry Cornmeal Galette image

I like making pie just as much as the next guy likes making pie, but I like making a galette even more. They're more fun, and I like the freedom that the rustic appearance affords. But mostly, I think I just enjoy the higher crust to fruit ratio. Serve with ice cream.
