Instructions
Step 1
Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
Step 2
Heat a small dutch oven on stovetop and drizzle with a few tablespoons of olive oil to cover bottom of pan. Saute kale, swiss chard, rainbow chard, scallion, garlic, mint, parsley, and lemon basil. Lightly season with a pinch of salt & pepper. Cook, stirring continuously, for about 15 minutes until kale is wilted. Remove from heat.
Step 3
Combine feta, pecorino, ricotta, 2 tablespoons pine nuts (reserve other 2 T for topping) and lemon zest. Season lightly with a pinch of salt & pepper.
Step 4
Mix kale mixture and cheese mixtures together.
Step 5
Line baking sheet with parchment paper and lay dough out flat atop paper.
Step 6
Cover dough with kale filling, leaving about 1 1/2" border all the way around. Top with zucchini shavings and flowers. Fold over edges of dough like a pie.
Step 7
Top with string cheese in a criss cross pattern.
Step 8
Bake in 425 degree oven for 25 - 30 minutes, until pastry is puffed and golden.
Step 9
Remove from oven and sprinkle with remaining pine nuts. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Notes
Short Cut: Prep ahead of time and store in the refrigerator for up to 2 days prior to baking.
Think Out of the Ice Box: Try using spinach in lieu of or with any combination of the greens in recipe.
