Number Of Ingredients 1

1 bunch of Swiss chard, washed in cold water Sea salt, to taste 2 teaspoons chopped flat leaf parsley ½ of 1 lemon, or to taste 2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil (optional)

Steps:

  • Strip the leaves of the chard from the thick stems, and wash again. Set aside in a bowl, still wet. Thinly slice the stems.
  • Put the stems in a large saucepan and add just enough boiling water to cover the bottom of the pan. Sprinkle with a little sea salt and cover; boil them for 3-5 minutes or until they are just tender. Drain and set aside.
  • In the same pot, add the reserved leaves, with the water that clings to them, an extra ½ cup of cold water and salt and bring to a boil. Turn the heat down, cover and cook about 2 to 3 minutes or until the leaves are wilted and just tender.
  • Drain the greens and squeeze as much water out of them as you can. Roll them into a ball, roughly slice them up and toss with the reserved stems and the parsley. Squeeze the lemon over them to taste and sprinkle with the olive oil. Toss again. Serve immediately.

SWISS CHARD WITH GARLIC



Swiss Chard with Garlic image

This is a very simple recipe for Swiss chard. I like to use the whole vegetable but you need to saute the stems and the leaves separately as the stems take longer. This won't make a lot as the chard will wilt, so if you love chard, think about doubling the recipe.

  • Garlic Sauteed Swiss Chard. If you’re looking for a simple, easy-to-make side dish, you can’t beat garlic sauteed Swiss chard. You’ll simply saute the chard as you would any greens, with olive oil, garlic, and salt.
  • Lemon Parmesan Garlic Swiss Chard. This recipe is quite similar to the garlic-sauteed one above. However, you’ll also use lemon juice, lemon zest, and parmesan cheese for this one.
  • Swiss Chard With Ginger. For this sauteed chard recipe, you’ll start with the standard ingredients: chard, olive oil, and salt. To those, you’ll add minced fresh ginger, minced garlic, and a bit of soy sauce for flavor.
  • Swiss Chard With Cannellini Beans. If you grew up with a gramma who knew how to cook on a budget, then you probably enjoyed a lot of “beans-n-greens,” as my grandma called them.
  • Swiss Chard With Garbanzo Beans. If cannellini beans aren’t your thing, try garbanzo beans instead. You’ll also want to add pancetta and a finely chopped shallot for this recipe.
