Author Notes

Pazi is a type of Chard leaves that Is very popular in and around Black sea coast of Turkey which is widely used in cooking sautéed dishes, pastries and making stuffed leaves.. It is related to Spinach and therefore its nutritional properties and taste is similar to that of spinach. This dish is very tasty without meat, but for those who prefer to have meat can add some minced beef. Garlicky yogurt topped with dried mint and chilli flakes enhances the flavour of this nutritious dish. —Saboush
