CREAMED SWISS CHARD WITH MUSHROOM AND FETA

You'll need a stick blender for this. Swiss chard is similar in flavor to spinach, so this can be adapted using fresh spinach. It makes a great side dish or baked potato topping. You can double the quantities and then use the rest in different ways: 1. Add some veg stock or bouillon to turn it into a tasty soup. 2. Use any leftover creamed chard to make a quick and delicious pasta sauce - just saute some bacon or warm up some smoked salmon, add creamed Swiss chard to heat it, and serve over a flat pasta that holds sauce nicely, like tagliatelli or linguini, and top with shavings of parmesan. 3. Use it as a simple topping/sauce for freshly grilled fish fillets.

Time 40m

Yield 6 side dishes, 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 bunch swiss chard, a generous bunch of around 18 to 24 leaves
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon garam masala
1 onion, medium to large, diced
1 tablespoon butter
125 g mushrooms, roughly chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon ground nutmeg
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon white pepper
4 tablespoons hot water
125 ml cream
100 g feta, cubed

Steps:

  • Rinse the fresh chard leaves very well, trim the stalk ends, and separate the leaves from the stems/stalks on each side. Chop the stalks into pieces of about 1cm to 2cm. Roughly chop the leaves.
  • In a saucepan heat the oil, masala and onion to medium. Stir and cook for a few minutes.
  • Add chopped chard stems, butter, mushrooms, garlic, nutmeg, salt and white pepper. Continue sauteeing and stirring on medium heat until the chard stems and mushrooms are soft.
  • Add the water and chard leaves, give a good stir and put the lid on for a few minutes to steam the leaves until competely wilted.
  • Pulse using a stick blender in the saucepan, slowly adding cream, until the creamed chard is the consistency you require. This is where your skill and personal preference come in! I prefer my chard to retain some chunky texture of mushroom and chard stems in a creamy green base.
  • Finally stir in the feta cubes and allow them to slightly melt in the warm vegetables.

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.

  • Wash the Swiss chard thoroughly: Be sure to remove any dirt or grit from the leaves.
  • Chop the Swiss chard into small pieces: This will help it cook evenly.
  • Use a large skillet or Dutch oven: You need a large enough pan to accommodate all of the ingredients.
  • Cook the Swiss chard over medium heat: This will help prevent it from overcooking and becoming mushy.
  • Stir the Swiss chard frequently: This will help prevent it from sticking to the pan and burning.
  • Add the cream and nutmeg last: This will help prevent the cream from curdling and the nutmeg from overpowering the other flavors.
  • Serve the creamed Swiss chard immediately: This dish is best enjoyed fresh.
