Steps:

• Stir chard with any water still clinging to leaves in large pot over medium-high heat until just wilted but still green, about 3 minutes. Place in sieve; press out moisture. Cool completely.
• Combine eggs, onion, matzo meal, cinnamon, salt, allspice and pepper in medium bowl; blend well. Mix in chard.
• Preheat oven to 300°F. Place baking sheet in oven. Heat 3 tablespoons olive oil in heavy medium skillet over medium heat. Working in batches, drop heaping 1 tablespoon Swiss chard mixture for each pancake into skillet; flatten to 1/2-inch thickness. Fry pancakes until golden brown and cooked through, adding more olive oil to skillet as necessary, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer pancakes to baking sheet in oven to keep warm after each batch. Serve pancakes warm with lemon wedges.

Process 1 minute. 4) Scrape chard puree into the bowl with the chard/herb mixture. Add lemon zest, garlic, cinnamon, nutmeg, cayenne, salt and pepper. 5) Put a tablespoon of this mixture into a small glass dish and microwave for 30 seconds. Taste and adjust for seasonings. 6) In a large non-stick pan, heat a tablespoon of olive oil over medium high heat. When oil is hot, spoon in batter, making 3 to 4 fritters to the batch. Cook about 3 minutes per side, until lightly browned and cooked through. Use more olive oil as needed for remaining fritters.
