Had some swiss chard from my local farm basket. I've not really cooked swiss chard before so we tried this recipe and DH really like it. I want to be able to find it again! Ingredients:
1 lb swiss chard (1 bunch) |
2 tbsp olive oil |
1 tbsp heavy cream (i used half-and-half) |
1/4 cup finely grated parmesan |
salt and pepper |
Directions:
1. Preheat the oven to 400F.
2. Wash chard in several changes of cold water.
3. Pull the stems out of each leaf and cut stems into 1/2 inch chunks. Dry the leaves on paper towels or spin in a salad spinner.
4. Put the stems in a 2 inch deep baking dish that is large enough to accommodate all the chard leaves later.
5. Drizzle with 1 Tbsp olive oil. Add a pinch of salt and pepper and mix well. Roast in the middle of the oven until the stems are tender and golden brown, about 15 minutes.
6. Put the leaves on top of the stems. Drizzle with remaining 1 Tbsp olive oil. Toss with tongs and return to the oven. Roast until the greens wilt, about 5 minutes.
7. Stir in the cream, taste and add more pepper if needed. You probably won't need more salt because the parmesan is salty.
8. Sprinkle with parmesan and return to the oven until cream is bubbly and parmesan is melted.
