Kale and Swiss Chard Cheese Pie
Preheat oven to 375*.
You will need one large chafing pan and pastry brush.
1 pk Filo Factory filo pastry
3 cups of cooked greens (kale and swiss chard), packed down with water squeezed out
2 cups feta cheese, crumbled
2 cups grated gruyere cheese
1½ cups grated mozzarella cheese
1 bunch fresh dill, chopped
2 large onions, chopped and sautéed in olive oil
2 eggs, beaten
3 handfuls of uncooked organic basmati rice
1 stick unsalted butter, melted
1/3 cup olive oil
Sauté the greens in a wok, using water to cook them. When fully cooked, drain and squeeze out water. Measure 3 cups of squeezed out greens and place in large bowl. Add feta, dill, sautéed onions, gruyere, mozzarella, eggs, and rice. Mix well.
Add the olive oil to the pot of melted butter. Spray the chaffing pan with olive oil.
Open filo pastry and lay out on work surface. The pastry is about 1” too wide for the chaffing pan and about 1” too short, so I cut 1” off of the width along the long side of the pastry, to make it narrower, and use the cut pieces to add to the length.
Lay out first sheet of filo, on the bottom of chaffing pan. Use a piece of the cut off pastry to add to the length. Brush with oil/butter mixture, using a wide pastry brush. Repeat and continue layering the filo pastry. You want to use half of the filo for the bottom, and half of the filo for the top. Usually, there are about 20 sheets in the box, so use 8-10 sheets on the bottom, then spread the kale/swiss chard/ cheese filling out evenly on top of the layered filo pastry. Press the filling down gently, evening it out all around. Then we are going to layer the filo sheets on the top, in the same manner as the bottom, brushing in between each layer with the butter/oil mixture until all of the filo is used up.
It is easier to cut the pie before it is cooked. I cut it into 4 pieces across the short side, and then 6-8 pieces down the long side, depending on the portion size I want to serve. You will have a total of either 24 or 32 pieces.

Tempeh Sauerkraut Chili Reuben- Makes 4 sandwiches
1- 8 oz. block organic tempeh,
Olive Oil
Sriracha Sauce, Vidalia Onion Sauce and Hot Sauce
2 cups Organic Sauerkraut, drained
½ cup vegan mayo (Just Mayo is my favorite)
¼ cup Organic German mustard
8 whole sweet Piquante Peppers, chopped
4 small organic tomatoes, sliced
Lettuce Greens or Arugula (optional)
8 slices of your favorite bread, toasted (I used Ezekiel sprouted bread)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Slice the tempeh block into quarters, and then divide each quarter horizontally in half, creating 2 thinner slices, 8 slices total.
Sauté each slice in oil until golden brown, turn over and repeat on other side.
In a small bowl, make a sauce with Sriracha Sauce, Jalapeño Sauce and Vidalia Onion Sauce. (I used sauces I found in my fridge. Feel free to improvise on what you have on hand. A BBQ sauce can work well too!) When both sides are golden, brush the side facing up with sauce mixture, and turn over in the hot pan and allow it to sizzle and coat the tempeh. Repeat on other side. Remove from pan and lay out on paper towel to absorb the oil.
Make a mixture with the Just Mayo and mustard, and add the chopped Piquante Peppers to it.
Heat the sauerkraut over medium heat until hot.
Toast the bread and spread each slice with the vegan mayo mixture. Place 2 pieces of the tempeh on each of the bottom 4 pieces of bread. Cover with tomato slices and sauerkraut. Top each sandwich with a piece of toast, with the mayo mixture on it. Serve with Salad greens and pickles on the side
