Ingredients

Swiss chard leaves - 2 bunches
Onion - 8.5 oz

Coarse matzo - 3.5 oz
Ground Cinnamon - 1 teaspoon
Salt - ¾ teaspoon
Ground Black Pepper - ¼ teaspoon

Step by Step guide

Step 1

Trim the stems from the Swiss chard and chop the leaves into small pieces. Transfer to a pot and cover with water. Place on high heat and bring to a boil. Cook for 3 minutes until the chard is slightly tender but retains its color. Transfer to a sieve and gently squeeze out excess water. Let cool.

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix the eggs, finely chopped onion, matzah, cinnamon, salt, allspice, and black pepper. Stir well and add the Swiss chard. Mix again.

Step 3

Preheat the oven to 302°F (300 degrees Fahrenheit) and place a baking sheet inside to heat up.

Step 4

Heat 3 tablespoons of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Drop 1 tablespoon of the batter for each pancake onto the skillet and fry for 3 minutes on each side until golden brown. Transfer to the baking sheet and place in the oven to keep warm. Serve with lemon wedges.
