Time 1h24m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1/3 lbs swiss chard
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
2 large leeks, green and pale green parts, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons light brown sugar
3 tablespoons pomegranate molasses
1 1/4 cups wheat berries
2 cups chicken stock
salt & fresh ground pepper
Greek yogurt, to serve

Steps:

  • Separate the chard's white stalks from the leaves, and slice the stalks into 3/8 inch slices.
  • Heat the oil and butter in a large, heavy bottomed pot. When the butter has melted add the leeks and cook, stirring for 3-4 minutes. Add the chard stalks and cook for another 3 minutes., then add the leaves and cook for 3 more minutes.
  • Add the sugar, pomegranate molasses and wheat berries, mixing well. Add the stock, 3/4 teaspoon salt and black pepper for taste. Cook on low heat for 60-70 minutes, or until the wheat berries are al dente. The base of the liquid should have evaporated, and there should be a caramelizing on the pan.
  • Remove from heat, and do a taste test to check whether more salt, pepper and molasses is neede.

This dish is a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll add some extra spices next time.
