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.

Cooking the leaves and stems separately allows this dish a variety of texture and ensures that the leaves don't get overcooked.

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 small bunch ruby Swiss chard
1 small bunch green Swiss chard
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 cloves garlic, peeled and thinly sliced lengthwise
Salt and freshly ground pepper

Steps:

  • Remove the stalks from the leaves: Hold the leaf in one hand, and gently pull out the thick stalk with the other. Cut the stalks into 2-inch-long pieces. Stack the leaves, and cut them crosswise into 4-inch-wide strips.
  • Heat the olive oil in a large skillet set over medium-low heat. Add the garlic, and cook just until golden. Remove and reserve the garlic. Add the stalks. Cook, stirring, 2 to 3 minutes to soften slightly. Add 3 tablespoons water, cover, and steam until firm but tender, 4 to 6 minutes.
  • Add leaves, cover, and cook until wilted, about 3 minutes. Sprinkle with the reserved garlic, and season with salt and pepper. Serve warm.

Time 30m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 1/2 pounds swiss chard
1 medium onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
3 tablespoons cider vinegar, plus more to taste
Pinch freshly grated nutmeg
1 cup chicken stock
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Fill a large bowl with cold water. Trim and discard the last 2 inches of the chard stems. Add leaves to water. (If the greens are very dirty wash them in several changes of water.) Lift the greens from the water, and put them in a colander to drain. Roughly chop the greens.
  • In a large Dutch oven or tall sided skillet over medium heat, cook the onion, garlic, red pepper flakes, cider vinegar and nutmeg for about 2 minutes. Add the greens in batches, stirring each batch as they wilt, before adding more. Add 1 cup chicken stock and cook, covered, stirring once or twice, until tender, about 10 minutes. Adjust the seasoning with vinegar, salt and pepper, to taste. Serve immediately.
