Creamed Swiss Chard with Shallots and Nutmeg image

Swiss chard, a member of the beet family, has bumpy, dark-green leaves and white or red stalks and veins. We use green chard with white stems in this recipe since the bright red stems often bleed their color.

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/4 cup (2 medium) coarsely chopped shallots
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour

I followed the recipe exactly and my dish turned out way too salty. I think I'll try it again with half the amount of salt next time.

This dish was a bit too bland for my taste. I think it could have used more salt and pepper. Otherwise, it was a good recipe.
