Ossetian pie with Swiss chard
Description
Perfect with tea and coffee. You can make Ossetian pie with chard both for a family dinner and for the arrival of welcome guests. The pastry is tender, filling, and very tasty! Chard can safely be replaced with spinach or sorrel; it will turn out no worse at all. Be sure to try it. Serve cooled or slightly warm.
