1 ts Grated lemon zest

INSTRUCTIONS

Make the pastry: Sift the flour, sugar, and salt together. Stir in the
butter, lemon juice, and eggs. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface and
briefly knead. Shape into a ball and cover with a damp cloth. Chill for 1
hour. Bring a pot of water to a boil. Blanch the Swiss chard, and cook for
10 minutes, add the spinach and continue to cook for 5 more minutes. Run
under cold water and drain. Squeeze out excess water and finely chop.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In a small sauce pan cook the sultanas or
raisins in the rum until almost all the rum is absorbed, about 2 minutes.
Cool then mix with the Swiss chard, spinach, pine nuts, sugar, 2 eggs, and
lemon zest. Lightly butter a 12-inch by 10-inch baking dish. Divide the
dough into a one third piece and a two third piece. On a lightly floured
surface, roll the two thirds portion of dough into 1/8-inch thick
rectangle. Line the bottom and sides of the baking dish. Prick all over
with a fork and add the Swiss chard mixture. Arrange the apples in a single
layer over the chard. Roll out the remaining dough to 1/8-inch thick
rectangle. Cover the filled baking dish with the dough. Crimp edges, trim
excess and prick with a fork. Brush the top with the beaten egg yolk. Bake
for 30 minutes or until the dough is crisp and golden. This recipe yields 8
servings.
