SWISS CHARD AND HERB TART



Swiss Chard and Herb Tart image

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 3h30m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon fine salt
1 stick cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
Cooking spray
1 bunch Swiss chard
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 medium onion, chopped
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1/4 cup chopped fresh dill
1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley
1 cup shredded aged cheddar cheese, plus 1/4 cup shaved aged cheddar for topping
1/2 cup half-and-half
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
1 large egg, lightly beaten
1/8 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg

Steps:

  • Make the crust: Put the flour, sugar and fine salt in a food processor and pulse to combine. Add the butter and pulse until the mixture looks like coarse meal. Add 2 tablespoons ice water and pulse until the dough just comes together, adding up to 2 more tablespoons ice water if needed. Transfer to a sheet of plastic wrap and pat into a disk; wrap and refrigerate until firm, about 1 hour.
  • Coat a 9-inch springform pan with cooking spray. Roll out the dough into a 12-inch round on a floured surface. Ease into the prepared pan and press into the bottom and up the side; trim to make a 2-inch-high crust. Prick the bottom a few times with a fork; refrigerate 30 minutes. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Place the dough-lined pan on a baking sheet. Line the dough with foil and fill with pie weights or dried beans. Bake until the edges are just lightly golden, about 20 minutes. Remove the foil and weights; continue baking until the crust is lightly golden all over, 15 to 20 more minutes. Transfer to a rack to cool completely. (The crust can be made a day ahead; cover and store at room temperature.)
  • Make the filling: Thinly slice the Swiss chard leaves and cut the stems into 1/4-inch slices. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion and chard stems, season with kosher salt and pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is soft and just beginning to brown, about 10 minutes. Add the dill and lemon zest and cook, stirring, 30 seconds. Add the chard leaves and cook, stirring, until wilted, about 4 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the parsley, 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt, and pepper to taste. Let the filling cool, then squeeze out the excess moisture.
  • Transfer the filling to a food processor; pulse until coarsely chopped. Transfer to a bowl and stir in the shredded cheddar, half-and-half, parmesan, egg and nutmeg. Pour into the crust and bake until set, 45 to 50 minutes. Top immediately with shaved cheddar and let melt. Serve warm or at room temperature.

PROVENçAL ZUCCHINI AND SWISS CHARD TART



Provençal Zucchini and Swiss Chard Tart image

This is such a pretty mixture of zucchini and greens that I hate to hide it under a top crust. Sometimes I substitute beet greens for the Swiss chard.

Provided by Martha Rose Shulman

Categories     dinner, main course

Time 1h45m

Yield One 10-inch tart, serving eight to ten

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 recipe whole wheat yeasted olive oil pie pastry
1 pound Swiss chard
Salt to taste
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 medium onion, finely chopped
2 pounds zucchini, cut in small dice (1/4 to 1/3 inch)
2 to 3 large garlic cloves (to taste), minced
1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves, chopped
1 to 2 teaspoons chopped fresh rosemary (to taste)
2 ounces Gruyère cheese, grated (1/2 cup, tightly packed)
3 large eggs, beaten
Freshly ground pepper

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil while you stem the greens, and wash them thoroughly in several rinses of water. If the ribs are wide, wash and dice them, then set aside. Fill a bowl with ice water. When the water reaches a rolling boil, add a generous amount of salt and the chard leaves. Blanch for one minute, until just tender. Using a slotted spoon or deep-fry skimmer, transfer to the ice water, then drain. Squeeze out excess water and chop. Set aside.
  • Heat the oil over medium heat in a large nonstick skillet, and add the onion and diced chard stems, if using. Cook, stirring, until tender, about five minutes. Stir in the zucchini. Season to taste with salt, and cook, stirring, until just tender and still bright green, about 10 minutes. Stir in the garlic, thyme and rosemary, and cook with the zucchini and onion until the garlic is fragrant, about one or two minutes. Stir in the greens, toss everything together, and remove from the heat. Taste and season with salt and pepper.
  • Beat the eggs in a large bowl. Stir in 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon salt (to taste), the zucchini mixture, and the Gruyère. Mix everything together, add pepper, taste once more and adjust seasoning.
  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Oil a 10-inch tart pan. Roll out two-thirds of the dough and line the pan, with the edges of the dough overhanging. Freeze the remaining dough. Fill the lined pan with the zucchini mixture. Pinch the edges of the dough along the rim of the pan. Place in the oven and bake 50 minutes, until set and beginning to color. Allow to rest for at least 15 minutes before serving (preferably longer). This can also be served at room temperature.

1 tablespoon oil
2 shallots, minced
1 clove garlic, minced
4 ounces bacon, cut into lardons
1 1/2 pounds Swiss chard, ribs removed
3 eggs
1 cup creme fraiche or heavy cream and sour cream combined

SWISS CHARD TART



Swiss Chard Tart image

Provided by Barbara Kafka

Categories     dinner, casseroles, one pot, main course

Time 2h15m

Yield 1 10-inch tart

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 1/4-ounce package active dry yeast
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 large egg
1 teaspoon canola oil, plus extra to oil 10-inch pastry ring
1 1/4 cups flour, plus extra for rolling out dough
1/2 pound Swiss or ruby chard leaves (reserve stems), washed, dried and roughly chopped (about 8 cups)
1/4 cup rice, cooked 8 minutes until barely firm
2 large eggs
1 3 1/2-ounce button fresh, soft goat cheese
1/4 pound prosciutto
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper to taste
1 large egg
1 teaspoon milk or cream

Steps:

  • To make dough, sprinkle yeast over 1/4 cup warm water and let sit for 5 minutes. There should be some bubbling action after a few minutes. If nothing happens, the yeast is old and should be discarded. Combine remaining ingredients for pastry in a small bowl. When ready, add the yeast-water mixture. Combine the two mixtures. Turn out on a flat surface, and knead, just until combined. If dough is too wet and sticky, add a little more flour. Form dough into a ball, return to bowl, cover with a kitchen towel and put in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in volume.
  • Meanwhile, make filling. In a food processor, pulse all the ingredients for filling until well combined, scraping down the sides of the bowl once or twice. Mixture should not be a puree, but should have texture. Reserve.
  • About 20 minutes before cooking the tart, place rack in the center of oven. Heat oven to 375 degrees.
  • Lightly oil a 10-inch pastry ring. Place it on a baking sheet. Lightly oil the section of sheet enclosed by ring. Set aside.
  • Divide dough in half. Roll out bottom crust to a 12-inch circle, using extra flour as needed. Twirl dough onto the rolling pin, and set into the oiled ring. Tuck dough snugly into the ring. Leave the dough edges up along sides of ring. Lightly prick dough with a fork, so that it will not rise too much while cooking. Spread the filling evenly over the dough.
  • Roll second half of dough into a 10-inch circle. Place circle on top of filling and smooth with fingers. Fold edges of first crust over second to seal in filling. Trim flap to about 1/4-inch width, and remove any extra dough. Pat down gently with a fork to make a firmer seal.
  • For the glaze, beat egg with milk or cream (or water). Brush glaze over crust. Using the sharp tip of a knife, make 3 slashes in the crust to act as air vents. Cook for 40 minutes. Remove from oven, and gently slide tart off onto a flat plate. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Tips:

  • Prep the Swiss Chard: Before using, remove the tough stems from the Swiss chard leaves. Finely chop the leaves, and wash and dry them thoroughly to remove any dirt or grit.
  • Use Fresh Ingredients: For the best flavor and texture, use fresh Swiss chard, eggs, and cheese. Fresh herbs like thyme, rosemary, or parsley can also enhance the taste of the tart.
  • Don't Overcook the Swiss Chard: Sauté the Swiss chard leaves briefly until they are just wilted. Overcooking can make them tough and bitter.
  • Use a Good Quality Crust: A store-bought or homemade pie crust will work well for this recipe. If using a homemade crust, pre-bake it before adding the filling to prevent a soggy bottom.
  • Bake the Tart Until Golden Brown: Bake the tart for about 30-35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is set. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean.
  • Let the Tart Cool Slightly Before Serving: Allow the tart to cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving. This will help the filling to set and prevent it from becoming runny.

Conclusion:

This Swiss chard rustic tart is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. With its flaky crust, creamy filling, and earthy Swiss chard, it's sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. Feel free to experiment with different variations of the recipe, such as adding different cheeses, herbs, or vegetables.
