Provided by Martha Stewart

Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 English muffins, split in half
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
1/3 cup mayonnaise
2 scallions, white and pale-green parts finely chopped (about 2 tablespoons), dark-green tops chopped and reserved for garnish (optional)
1 tablespoon Champagne vinegar or white-wine vinegar
1 bunch (about 1 pound) chard, preferably rainbow
1/2 pound cantaloupe, peeled, seeded, and cut into 2-inch pieces (about 2 cups; optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Place English muffins on a rimmed baking sheet, brush with oil, and generously season with salt and pepper. Toast in oven until golden but still slightly soft in centers, 16 to 18 minutes. When cool enough to handle, tear into bite-size pieces. Meanwhile, whisk together mayonnaise, scallions, and vinegar. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Remove stems and center ribs from chard with a knife and set aside. Stack a few leaves at a time, roll up like a cigar, and thinly slice crosswise; transfer to a large bowl. Cut chard stems and ribs crosswise into 2-inch pieces, thinly slice lengthwise, and add to bowl with chard. Chard can be prepared up to 1 day ahead, covered with damp paper towels, and stored in refrigerator. Just before serving, toss chard with croutons and cantaloupe; garnish with scallion tops. Serve with dressing.

SAUTEED SCALLOPS AND SWISS CHARD (FOR TWO)



Sauteed Scallops and Swiss Chard (For Two) image

I jump from one obsession to the next. This week's obsession? Swiss Chard. Quick Tips: If you have other hearty spring greens or even broccoli rabe on hand, those can be substituted for the chard. Also, fresh thyme would work as well as tarragon. This recipe can be easily doubled to serve more. Adapted from Williams-Sonoma Weeknight Fresh & Fast, by Kristine Kidd (Williams-Sonoma, 2011).

Time 45m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
1 small bunch swiss chard, stems removed and leaves chopped
coarse kosher salt & freshly ground black pepper, to taste
3/4 lb sea scallops
all-purpose flour, for dredging
1 small shallot, minced
1/4 cup dry white wine
1/2 cup low sodium chicken broth
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/2 teaspoon minced fresh tarragon, plus more for garnish
1 tablespoon unsalted butter (optional)
cooked brown rice, jasmine rice or basmati rice
2 tablespoons pecans, toasted and chopped

Steps:

  • In a large nonstick fry pan over medium-high heat, warm 1 Tbs. of the olive oil. Add the chard and season lightly with salt and pepper. Sauté until just softened, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and cover to keep warm.
  • Season the scallops lightly with salt and pepper and dredge in flour to coat. In the same pan over medium-high heat, warm 1 Tbs. of the olive oil. Add the scallops and cook, turning once, until springy to the touch and no longer translucent in the center, about 3 minutes per side. Using tongs, transfer the scallops to a plate.
  • Add the remaining 1 Tbs. olive oil to the pan and then add the shallot. Sauté until it begins to soften, about 1 minute. Add the wine and boil until almost evaporated, stirring to scrape up any browned bits, about 2 minutes. Add the broth, lemon juice, mustard and the 1/2 teaspoons tarragon and boil until slightly thickened, about 2 minutes. Remove from the heat, add the butter and stir until melted. Season the sauce with salt and pepper.
  • Spoon the rice into the center of 2 warmed plates and top with the chard. Arrange the scallops on top of the chard and spoon the sauce over all. Garnish with the remaining minced tarragon and the pecans and serve immediately.

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.
