SWISS CHARD WITH INDIAN LIME PICKLE

Yield Makes 4 side-dish servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/8 cup mild lime pickle (an Indian condiment found at gourmet or Indian food stores or online at EthnicGrocer.com)
3 tbsp fresh lemon juice
2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
2 tbsp salt
2 bunches Swiss chard, stems and tough central spines removed
1 tbsp unsalted butter
1 small shallot, minced
1 tsp lemon zest, grated on small or medium blade

Steps:

  • In a blender, combine lime pickle, lemon juice, and oil and puree until smooth, adding water as necessary to create a liquid. Set aside. Bring a medium pot of water to a boil and add 1 tbsp salt. Prepare an ice bath (a large bowl of ice water with 1 tbsp salt). Add chard to the pot and boil until bright green and very tender (9 to 12 minutes). Drain chard in a colander, submerge briefly in the ice bath to stop cooking, drain again in colander and squeeze to release most of the water. Set aside. Heat butter in a large sauté pan on medium heat. When butter is melted, add shallot, sprinkle with a pinch of salt and pepper, cover, reduce heat to low and sauté until shallot is translucent, about 4 minutes. Remove from heat. Add chard, lime-pickle puree, lemon zest, and salt and pepper to taste. Mix vigorously. Serve warm.

Tips:

  • Choose tender Swiss chard. Look for bunches with bright, crisp leaves and avoid any that are wilted or bruised.
  • Wash the Swiss chard thoroughly. Rinse the leaves under cold water to remove any dirt or grit.
  • Remove the tough stems from the Swiss chard. Cut the leaves away from the stems, then chop the leaves into 1-inch pieces.
  • Use a large skillet or wok to cook the Swiss chard. This will allow the leaves to cook evenly.
  • Heat the oil over medium-high heat before adding the Swiss chard. This will help to prevent the leaves from sticking to the pan.
  • Cook the Swiss chard until it is wilted and tender, about 5 minutes. Stir the leaves frequently to ensure that they cook evenly.
  • Add the lime juice, salt, and pepper to taste. Stir to combine.
  • Serve the Swiss chard immediately. It can be enjoyed as a side dish or as a main course.

Conclusion:

Sautéed Swiss chard with lime is a quick and easy side dish that is packed with flavor. The Swiss chard is tender and slightly bitter, while the lime juice adds a bright and tangy flavor. This dish is also a good source of vitamins and minerals, including vitamin K, vitamin C, and folate. Whether you are looking for a healthy and delicious side dish or a quick and easy main course, sautéed Swiss chard with lime is a great option.
