Ingredients
- 500 g Swiss chard, roughly chopped
- 500 g spinach, roughly chopped
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon tomato paste
- 1 ripe tomato, finely chopped
- 1 bunch dill or fennel, finely chopped
- 50 ml water
- Salt
- Pepper
- Sweet paprika
- Crumbled feta (as much as you like)
- Olive oil
Instructions
- Wash the vegetables thoroughly, chop them, and separate into two bowls: one for the Swiss chard and one for the spinach, as spinach requires less cooking time.
- Heat olive oil in a pot and sauté the onion and garlic until fragrant.
- Add the tomato and tomato paste, sautéing for another 2 minutes.
- Stir in the Swiss chard, water, salt, and dill. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the chard wilts. Let it simmer for about 10 minutes.
- Add the spinach and stir until it wilts as well. Simmer everything together for another 10–15 minutes, adjusting cooking time to your preferred texture. If you want more sauce, add a little more water during cooking.
- Avoid overcooking to preserve the texture of the vegetables.
- Just before turning off the heat, add the pepper and sweet paprika.
- Remove from heat, and once the bubbling stops, sprinkle crumbled feta over the dish.
