Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
2 pounds scallions -- (about 25), white and most of green part, thinly sliced
2 bunches parsley -- chopped
1 1/2 cups chopped dill pickle
2 cups chopped tender greens -- (lettuce, spinach, chard)
Salt
2 cups yellow cornmeal -- plus about 1 more cup for the topping
1/2 cup warm water -- or milk
1/2 cup chopped fresh mint
1 cup chopped chervil
2 cups diced feta
Freshly ground pepper -- to taste
1 cup olive oil -- approx

In a large bowl toss together the scallions, parsley, dill and greens. Add 1 to 2 teaspoons salt and "knead" the greens 1 to 2 minutes to wilt them.

In a bowl mix 2 cups cornmeal with one and a half cups warm water or milk and add to the greens mixture. Add a half cup olive oil, and toss with the rest of the herbs and diced feta, adding pepper to taste.

Preheat the oven to 375 F.

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and brush generously with olive oil. Spread the mixture, making sure that it is not thicker than two-thirds of an inch.

Mix one cup cornmeal with two-thirds cup warm water, and with a spoon spread over the greens to almost cover the surface.

Drizzle the top with olive oil and bake for 30 minutes or more, until set and lightly golden. Let cool a bit, and cut pieces to serve.

Serves 8 to 10 (as an appetizer)

This rustic, crust-less pie, or "bread" as the name implies, is an easy and delicious snack or mezze eaten warm or at room temperature.
