Steps:
- 1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and cook the garlic, onions and chard stems until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in the rice and 1/2 teaspoon salt to combine. Add 1 cup water, cover, reduce the heat to low and cook without stirring until the rice is tender but not mushy, about 12 minutes. Uncover, add the spinach, chard leaves and 3/4 teaspoon salt. Cook, stirring, until the greens are wilted, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl to cool (stirring with a large spoon will speed this up).
- 2. When the filling is cool, stir in the egg and then the feta, dill, raisins, pine nuts and lemon zest.
- 3. Place a large piece of parchment paper on a work surface. Lay out one sheet of phyllo and brush all over with some of the melted butter. Lay another sheet crosswise on top and brush with butter again. Working to form a large round of phyllo layers, lay an additional 6 sheets of phyllo dough diagonally over the first 2 sheets, brushing each sheet with butter, so they overlap in the center. Spread the filling in the center of the sheets and bring all the loose ends of the phyllo to rest on top to make a free-form pie, using the butter to help the pieces stick to each other. Lay 4 of the remaining 6 sheets of phyllo evenly over the top of the pie, tucking the edges under the bottom to form an enclosed disk and brushing each piece of dough with butter. Use the last 2 sheets, if necessary, to cover the filling or enclose the circle. Brush the outside of the pie with butter.
- 4. Lift the parchment with the pie onto a rimmed baking sheet and bake until the phyllo is golden brown and crispy, about 40 minutes. Serve hot or at room temperature with the Tomato Salad on the side.
- Toss the tomatoes with the pepperoncini and the olives in a medium bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.

Tips:
- Select the best spinach: Choose tender, young spinach leaves with no signs of wilting or yellowing.
- Prep the spinach properly: Thoroughly wash the spinach leaves and remove any tough stems.
- Don't overcook the spinach: Spinach cooks quickly, so be careful not to overcook it. Wilted spinach should retain its vibrant green color and slightly crunchy texture.
- Use a variety of apples: Different types of apples offer unique flavors and textures to the dish. Granny Smith apples provide a tartness, while sweeter apples like Honeycrisp or Gala add a touch of sweetness.
- Add feta cheese for a salty tang: Feta cheese adds a salty, tangy flavor that complements the sweetness of the apples and the bitterness of the spinach.
- Experiment with other ingredients: Feel free to add other ingredients to your wilted spinach dish, such as chopped walnuts, dried cranberries, or crumbled bacon.
Conclusion:
Wilted spinach with apples and feta cheese is a versatile dish that can be enjoyed as a side dish or a main course. With its combination of flavors and textures, this dish is sure to please even the most discerning palates. Whether you're looking for a quick and easy weeknight meal or a more sophisticated dish for a special occasion, wilted spinach with apples and feta cheese is a great choice.
