With a super flaky crust (the secret: frozen grated butter) and a luscious filling of creamed greens, this rustic creamed greens slab pie from Food & Wine’s Justin Chapple makes a perfect vegetarian side dish. Alternately, serve it as a main course alongside a big green salad.

Cook a pound of spinach and a pound of collard greens with olive oil, onions, garlic, crushed red pepper, and white wine. Wilt the greens until they’re tender with just a little bit of bite (called crisp tender). You don’t want them to be mush before going into the pie. Let the greens cool completely while preparing the crust. 

Prepare a double batch of pie crust, because a slab pie needs a bottom crust and a top crust. 

Squeeze out as much liquid as possible from the greens. A potato ricer works well to do this. Add the ingredients to make creamed greens. Roll out the crust and place it on a baking sheet. Put the greens on top and close the pie with the top crust. Bake at 400 degrees for about 50 minutes.
