I thought after using this site for a while that I'd post one of my favorite recipes. It's adapted from Gourmet Magazine, and it's perfect for winter holidays (great colors!) I say it serves 2-4, but I often eat it all by myself! Ingredients:
1 lb swiss chard (or rainbow chard) |
2 tablespoons olive oil |
1 large garlic clove |
1 dash salt |
1 dash pepper |
4 tablespoons dried currants |
1/4 cup water |
1 1/2 ounces feta cheese |
Directions:
1. Rinse chard well several times. Cut ribs and stems from leaves, then chop ribs and stems to 1/2 inch pieces. Chop leaves to 1-inch strips.
2. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Add garlic and cook for 2 minutes till lightly golden.
3. Add ribs and stems of chard, along with salt and pepper. Cook for 4 minutes, stirring occasionally.
4. Add currants and cook for 1 minute, until plump.
5. Add chard leaves and water, and increase heat to medium-high. Cook covered 5 minutes, or until leaves and stems are soft.
6. Crumble feta over chard and mix inches Serve warm.
