This is one of those dishes I made when I'm bored with the usual fare. Chard is grown here, and it's delicious in this salad. Ingredients:
1 small red onion, chopped |
1 tablespoon olive oil |
1/4 cup tomato paste |
1 teaspoon honey |
2 cans (15 ounces each) garbanzo beans or chickpeas, rinsed and drained |
1 cup water |
12 to 13 cups loosely packed julienned chard or spinach leaves (about 1-1/2 pounds) |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon pepper |
Directions:
1. In a Dutch oven or a large saucepan, saute onion in oil until tender. Add tomato paste and honey; cook for 1 minute. Add the beans and water; bring to a boil.
2. Add chard, salt and pepper; return to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 15-25 minutes or until the greens are wilted. Serve immediately. Yield: 4-6 servings.
