Instructions
Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F /190°C/ Gas mark 5.
Prepare the Filling: Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add a tablespoon of olive oil. Sauté the chopped onion until it becomes translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and sauté for another minute. Add the chopped Swiss chard and kale to the skillet. Cook until wilted and any excess moisture has evaporated, about 7-10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Remove from heat and let the mixture cool completely.
1 large Spanish onion, 3 large Garlic cloves, 2 cups Swiss chard, 2 cups Kale, 4 oz Goat cheese or cream cheese, 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, ½ tsp Salt, ½ tsp Black pepper powder
Mix the Cheeses: Once the greens mixture has cooled, transfer it to a large mixing bowl. Add the goat cheese or cream cheese and grated Parmesan cheese. Mix until well combined.
Prepare the Filo Pastry: Lay one sheet of filo pastry on a clean, dry surface. Brush with olive oil or melted butter. Pleat the filo like a fan and fold it in half.
Assemble the Parcels: Place a spoonful of the filling in the center of each filo. Fold the long sides over the filling. Brush with olive oil or melted butter to seal the edges. Place the parcel's seam-side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Repeat the process with the remaining filo sheets and filling to make more parcels.
10 sheets sheets of filo pastry
Bake the Parcels: Brush the tops of the parcels with more olive oil or melted butter. Bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes or until the filo pastry is golden brown and crisp.
½ cup Olive oil or melted butter
Serve: Let the parcels cool slightly before serving. Serve warm as an appetizer or side dish.
