Tips, notes, and variations for making the flower pie

For this recipe, I pre-cooked 1.1 lbs of fresh spinach in the microwave. I just had to put them in a glass bowl, pressed them well, and then adhered a sheet of plastic wrap to the bowl. I poked the plastic wrap and then cooked for 8 minutes at 800 W. After that, I carefully removed the plastic wrap.

Alternatively, you can make the sunflower savory pie with greens.
