Zubereitung von Greek Greens Pie

**Prepare the Greens:** If using spinach, steam for 1-2 minutes until wilted. Chard or beet greens need 3-4 minutes. Immediately transfer to a bowl of ice water to stop cooking. Squeeze out excess moisture thoroughly. Chop and set aside in a large bowl.
**Sauté Aromatics:** Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add 1 medium onion (chopped) and cook until tender, about 5 minutes. Stir in 1/4 cup chopped green onions and cook for 1 minute more.
**Combine Filling:** Add the chopped greens (about 10 ounces total), 1/4 cup chopped fresh herbs (such as dill, parsley, or mint), salt, and pepper to the skillet. Toss well to combine. Stir in 1 cup crumbled feta cheese.
**Make the Cornmeal Crust:** Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Oil a 10-inch round baking dish or cake pan. In a medium saucepan, bring 1 cup milk and 1/2 cup water to a simmer over medium heat. Add a pinch of salt. Slowly whisk in 1 cup cornmeal, stirring constantly to prevent lumps. Continue stirring until the mixture thickens like polenta (about 5-7 minutes).
**Assemble the Pie:** Spread half of the cornmeal mixture in the prepared pan, creating a thin, even layer. Spread the green filling evenly over the cornmeal. Dilute the remaining cornmeal with 1/4 cup water until it resembles wet sand. Stir in 1 tablespoon olive oil.
**Bake:** Spoon the remaining cornmeal mixture over the greens, smoothing into an even layer. Bake for 45-60 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the filling is heated through.
**Cool and Serve:** Let the pie cool for at least 30 minutes before cutting and serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature. Refrigerate leftovers for up to 3 days.
