Directions: <\/p>\n
Heat oven to 375\u00b0F (190\u00b0C).
\nMake the compound butter: Heat oil in a large skillet over high heat. Add the spring onions and garlic and cook until slightly charred on both sides, about 1 to 2 minutes per side. Remove spring onions and garlic from oil, transfer to a small bowl, and allow to cool. Do not wipe out the pan (you\u2019ll use it later).
\nAdd the spring onion, parsley, garlic, and lemon zest to a food processor and pulse until rough paste forms. Add in the softened butter and pulse until a smooth compound butter forms. Transfer the compound butter to a saucepan and heat over medium until fully melted. Once melted, set aside in a small bowl to cool.
\nPrepare the filling: Preheat the same large skillet on medium-high heat with 2 tablespoons neutral oil. Working in batches, add the eggplant cubes and fry until lightly browned and fully cooked, about 5 to 7 minutes per batch; replenish the skillet with an additional 2 tablespoons neutral oil per batch, as needed. Transfer the cooked eggplant to a paper towel-lined plate or drying rack and immediately season with a big pinch of salt. Set aside.
\nBring the skillet up to high heat and add 1 tablespoon neutral oil. Add the shishito peppers, season with a big pinch of salt, and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, tossing often until charred and softened. Transfer to a large mixing bowl.
\nReduce the heat of the skillet to medium and add 1 to 2 tablespoons neutral oil. Add the chopped chard and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, until wilted and stems begin to soften. Add the tomato paste, garlic, fresh thyme, fennel seeds and a big pinch of salt and continue to cook, stirring often, for another 5 to 10 minutes (the chard stems should be soft). Transfer to the large mixing bowl with the shishitos. Add in the eggplant and lemon juice. Toss to combine. Taste and adjust for salt, if necessary.
\nAssemble the pie: Using a pastry brush, brush the melted compound butter on the bottom and sides of a 9- x 13-inch baking dish. Keeping the stack of phyllo dough covered with a damp towel while you work, add one sheet of phyllo dough to the dish and brush with the melted compound butter so that it is evenly coated; repeat with the compound butter until 10 sheets of phyllo dough line the dish. Add in the filling and spread evenly. Top the filling with a phyllo sheet and brush with compound butter; repeat until 10 sheets of phyllo top the dish.
\nFold any excess phyllo out toward the sides of the baking dish and tuck it in, to create a sort of pie crust. Then, using a sharp knife, score the pie by slicing the top layer of phyllo into 15 to 20 slices, depending on how large you want them (this is much easier to do before the phyllo is baked). Transfer to the oven and bake for 35 to 45 minutes, rotating halfway through, until the pastry is lightly browned and fully cooked. Remove from the oven, sprinkle with sesame seeds if you\u2019re adding, and allow to cool slightly before serving.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
