Instructions
Working time approx. 40 minutes; Total time approx. 40 minutes
for a sheet
Roll out the 25×48 cm puff pastry from the refrigerated counter or yeast dough on a baking sheet and pull up a small edge. If you prefer, you can also make your own dough. Then add canned Italian tomato paste, paprika paste (approx. 3 cm long strips), and Hungarian hot paprika paste (approx. 2 cm long strips), and mix it all together in a small bowl. Stir in the crushed garlic clove and pour in the whole thing with a little juice from the jar of paprika, so that the mixture is nice and spreadable and can be spread on the dough. Now wash the chard and nettles, blanch them in salted water, immediately remove them from the water, refresh them in cold water, and then drain them. I first trimmed the chard stems, chopped them up, and boiled them until soft. Then roughly chop the chard and nettles and spread them on the dough with the cooked stems. The potatoes are peeled and quartered, then thinly sliced with a cucumber slicer and mixed into the vegetables. The feta cheese is cut into small cubes and distributed as well. I poured the brine over everything. Finally, the pepper strips are distributed over the whole dish and the sour cream with the 5 beaten eggs, which have been seasoned generously with salt, pepper, and marjoram (or, if you like, oregano, which has a milder flavor), is then spread over everything. I then seasoned it generously with toasted nettle seeds and sprinkled it with a not so strong Turkish paprika spice mix. If you like, you can also sprinkle grated hard cheese on top, or any kind of ready-made grated cheese. I left out the grated cheese. Then everything is baked in the oven at 200°C for about 30 minutes.
