Swiss Chard Frittata With Rye Berries Recipes

SWISS-CHARD FRITTATA WITH RYE BERRIES

Steps:

• Preheat broiler with rack in top third. Heat 1 tablespoon oil and garlic in a 10-inch broilerproof nonstick skillet over medium. When fragrant, add chard stems and leaves. Season with salt and cook, stirring, until just tender, 4 minutes. Transfer to a bowl.
• In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon pepper until well combined. Stir in rye berries, chard leaves and stems, and all but 1 tablespoon combined chopped herbs and scallions.
• Return skillet to medium-high heat; add remaining 1 tablespoon oil. Add egg mixture and cook, stirring with a spatula to create large curds, until eggs are just beginning to set, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat, dollop with ricotta, and transfer to oven. Broil until eggs are puffed, just set, and beginning to brown in spots, 2 to 3 minutes. Let stand 10 minutes. Garnish with remaining chopped herbs and scallions, and serve warm or room temperature.

HOW TO COOK RYE BERRIES

Steps:

• Bring a pot of water to a boil; season generously with salt. Add rye berries; reduce heat to a low, steady simmer. Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until chewy and tender, 50 to 60 minutes. Drain. Use immediately, or spread on a rimmed baking sheet to let cool.

SWISS CHARD FRITTATA

Steps:

• Tomatoes: Preheat oven to 325 degrees. In a 9-inch pie plate, place tomatoes and garlic cloves. In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, balsamic vinegar, thyme, light-brown sugar, and salt. Drizzle over tomatoes and garlic and bake in the oven until tomatoes are wilted and caramelized, 40 to 45 minutes. Set aside.
• Frittata: Increase oven temperature to 425 degrees, with the rack in the upper third of the oven. Lightly beat eggs in a large bowl with a whisk. Season with salt and pepper; set aside.
• In a 12-inch nonstick skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add onions, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring, until tender, 12 to 15 minutes. Reduce heat to medium and add the stems of the chard; cook until tender, 3 minutes. Add the chard leaves and stir to combine. Cook until wilted, about 1 minute. Pour egg mixture into skillet. Cook, using a heatproof spatula to gently stir and push eggs from edges to center of pan so runny parts run underneath, until eggs begin to set, about 2 minutes.
• Scatter cooked tomatoes on top of the frittata and evenly distribute feta cheese on top. Transfer frittata to oven and cook until top is set and has puffed slightly, about 15 minutes.
• Gently run a spatula around the edges and underneath the frittata and carefully slide out of the pan onto a cutting board. Slice into wedges and serve hot, warm, or at room temperature.

CHARD FRITTATA

Steps:

• Wash the chard thoroughly; put in a large kettle and steam over medium heat in the water that clings to the leaves. Cover pot while steaming. When chard is tender, after about 10 minutes, drain, reserving liquid for another use, like making a broth, and coarsely chop the tender leaves.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Put the butter and oil in a saute pan, a straight-sided quiche pan or a shallow baking dish that can go in the oven. When the butter has melted and the foam begins to subside, add the minced shallots and saute briefly until they are translucent but not brown. Add chopped chard and mix well. Remove from heat.
• In a bowl combine eggs, cream, salt and pepper and beat thoroughly. Pour this batter over the chard, lifting edges of the chard with a fork to let batter run underneath. Dot the top with cheese cubes and put in middle of oven. Bake 20 to 25 minutes.
• Remove and let cool slightly. To serve, cut into squares or wedges.
