Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/2 cup coarsely chopped walnuts
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1/2 medium onion, thinly sliced
1 1/4 teaspoons kosher salt, divided
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, divided
1 bunch Swiss chard (about 12 ounces), stems and greens separated, stems sliced crosswise into 1/2-inch pieces, greens coarsely chopped
4 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
Greens from 1 bunch beets, coarsely chopped (about 1 1/2 cups greens)
3 teaspoons white wine or Champagne vinegar

Steps:

  • Heat a large skillet over medium and toast walnuts, shaking pan often, until fragrant, about 5 minutes. Transfer nuts to a plate.

Once butter melts, add onion, 1/4 tsp. salt, and 1/4 tsp. pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add Swiss chard stems and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 2 minutes more. Add garlic and red pepper flakes and cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, 1 minute. Add Swiss chard greens, beet greens, vinegar, remaining 1 tsp. salt, and remaining 1/4 tsp. pepper. Cover and cook, stirring occasionally with tongs, until tender, about 3-4 minutes. Uncover and cook 1 minute more. Serve topped with toasted walnuts.

This recipe is a bit time-consuming, but it's worth it. The greens are perfectly tender and the walnuts add a nice crunch.

I'm allergic to walnuts, so I substituted pecans instead. The dish was still delicious!

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover greens. I also like to add a few chopped hard-boiled eggs for some extra protein.

I've made this recipe several times and it's always a hit. I like to add a bit of crumbled feta cheese on top before serving.

This recipe was a bit too bland for my taste. I would recommend adding more seasonings, such as salt, pepper, and garlic powder.

I'm not a big fan of greens, but this recipe changed my mind. The walnuts and lemon dressing really make the dish.

This is a great recipe for a quick and healthy side dish. I used kale instead of spinach and it was just as good. I also added a little bit of garlic and red pepper flakes for some extra flavor.
