Provided by Tyler Florence

Time 1h

Yield 2 to 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 21

2 large (16 to 18-ounce) bone-in rib-eye steaks
1 sprigs fresh rosemary
4 sprigs fresh thyme
Extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon butter
2 to 3 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
2 sprigs fresh thyme, leaves removed
2 sprig fresh rosemary, leaves removed
About 1 cup panko bread crumbs
Salt and freshly cracked black pepper
1 large bunch Swiss chard, leafs removed from the stem and leaves chopped
2 cups heavy cream
2 fresh bay leaves
2 sprigs fresh rosemary
4 sprigs fresh thyme
2 to 3 cloves garlic, peeled
Freshly grated Parmesan, to taste
Salt and freshly cracked black pepper
1 lemon, juiced

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Take a cast iron pan and set over medium-high heat. Add a 2-count of olive oil and add rosemary and thyme. The herbs will begin to crackle as the oil heats up and the oil will be infused with the flavor. Remove the herbs from the pan and place onto a paper towel lined plate. Season the rib eyes well with salt and pepper and add to pan and brown for approximately 4 minutes. Turn the rib eye over and place the whole pan into the preheated oven, on the bottom shelf, for another 12 minutes for medium-rare. Add another 2 minutes for medium.
  • Place a saute pan over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil and butter. Once the butter has melted, add the garlic, thyme and rosemary leaves, and the panko and stir to combine. Once the bread crumbs are toasted, season with salt and pepper.
  • Place a saucepan of cream with bay leaves, rosemary, thyme and garlic over medium heat and simmer until reduced and thick. Blanch leaves in some salted boiling water until wilted. Remove the Swiss chard from the water and allow it to drain in a strainer. Push any excess water out of the Swiss chard using some paper towels. Set aside to dry at room temperature.
  • When ready, remove herbs and garlic from cream and fold in the Swiss chard. Add Parmesan, to taste, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Once steaks are done, remove from the oven and allow to rest for 5 minutes. Serve on a plate and top steak with creamed Swiss chard. Garnish with the toasted bread crumbs, lemon juice, and season with salt.

CREAMY SWISS CHARD PASTA WITH LEEKS, TARRAGON AND LEMON ZEST



Creamy Swiss Chard Pasta With Leeks, Tarragon and Lemon Zest image

This creamy vegetarian pasta is hearty enough for chilly temperatures while still nodding toward spring with the addition of bright-green chard, leeks and fresh herbs. For texture, it's topped with toasted panko, a garnish that can go many ways: Instead of using nutritional yeast, which adds tangy flavor here, you can melt a finely chopped anchovy with the butter and toss it with the panko. You could also add some ground coriander, Italian seasoning or herbes de Provence. Toasted panko, plain bread crumbs or even crushed croutons are a solid back-pocket trick to add crunch to any pasta, especially the creamiest kind. Don't skip the tarragon and lemon zest garnish, which add a fresh note to an otherwise-rich dish.

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

3/4 pound green Swiss chard (1 large bunch), washed and trimmed
2 large leeks (10 to 12 ounces each)
5 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2 cup panko bread crumbs
Kosher salt and black pepper
3 tablespoons nutritional yeast
3 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves
2 cups chicken or vegetable stock
1 cup heavy cream
16 ounces linguine or fettuccine
3/4 cup finely grated Parmesan
Fresh tarragon leaves, for garnish
1 lemon, for garnish

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Prepare the chard: Tear the leaves off the stems, separating the leaves and stems. Thinly slice the stems, then coarsely tear the leaves into bite-size pieces. Set both aside in separate bowls.
  • Prepare the leeks: Trim off the bottom and the dark green portion at the top, halve the remaining white and pale green portion lengthwise, then thinly slice them crosswise. Wash and drain the sliced leeks. Set aside.
  • Prepare the bread crumbs: In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons butter over medium. Add the panko, season lightly with salt and generously with pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden and toasted, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in nutritional yeast, then transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.
  • Wipe out the skillet. Add the remaining 3 tablespoons butter and melt over medium-high. Add the leeks, chard stems, garlic and thyme, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until leeks start to wilt and soften, about 5 minutes. Add the torn chard, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring, until just wilted, 2 minutes.
  • Add the stock and heavy cream, and boil over high until thickened, about 10 minutes.
  • Once the mixture is simmering, add the pasta to the pot of boiling water and cook until al dente. Drain pasta.
  • Transfer chard mixture to the empty pasta pot. Stir in the cooked pasta, then sprinkle with the Parmesan, stirring vigorously to melt it into the sauce. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Divide among shallow bowls or plates. Sprinkle generously with the prepared bread crumbs, top with tarragon and grate fresh lemon zest on top. Serve immediately.

CREAMED SWISS CHARD WITH ONION, GARLIC, AND NUTMEG



Creamed Swiss Chard with Onion, Garlic, and Nutmeg image

This creamed Swiss chard includes onion, garlic, and nutmeg for a flavorful side dish.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Healthy Recipes     Gluten-Free Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 10

6 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 medium onion, finely chopped
1 large garlic clove, finely chopped
3 to 4 large bunches Swiss chard, stems cut into 1/4-inch pieces (2 cups), and leaves cut into 3/4-inch strips, then halved (18 cups)
6 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 3/4 cups whole milk
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1 3/4 teaspoons coarse salt
Freshly ground pepper
3/4 cup heavy cream

Steps:

  • Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large saute; pan over medium heat. Add onion and garlic; cook, stirring occasionally, 5 minutes. Add chard stems; cook, stirring occasionally, until stems begin to soften, about 7 minutes. Stir in half of the chard leaves and 2 tablespoons water; cook, stirring occasionally, until very tender, about 15 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl; cover. Add remaining chard leaves and 2 tablespoons water to pan; cook, stirring occasionally, until very tender, about 15 minutes. Stir into bowl.
  • Melt remaining 4 tablespoons butter in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Add flour, stirring to avoid forming lumps. Gradually whisk in milk and nutmeg; season with salt and pepper. Raise heat to medium; bring to just below a boil, stirring occasionally; cook 2 minutes more, whisking constantly. Whisk in cream. Pour into chard mixture; stir to combine. Serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh Swiss chard: Look for Swiss chard with brightly colored leaves and crisp stems. Avoid leaves that are wilted or have brown spots.
  • Wash the Swiss chard thoroughly: Swiss chard can be gritty, so it's important to wash it thoroughly before using it. Rinse the leaves and stems under cold water, and then shake them dry.
  • Remove the stems from the leaves: The stems of Swiss chard are tough and fibrous, so they're best removed before cooking. To remove the stems, hold the leaf in one hand and use the other hand to pull the stem away from the leaf. Alternatively, you can use a knife to cut the stems off.
  • Blanch the Swiss chard: Blanching is a quick way to cook the Swiss chard and help it retain its bright green color. To blanch the Swiss chard, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the Swiss chard and cook for 1-2 minutes, or until the leaves are wilted. Immediately remove the Swiss chard from the boiling water and plunge it into a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.
  • Use a good quality cream: The cream is one of the main ingredients in this dish, so it's important to use a good quality cream. Look for a cream that is at least 35% fat.
  • Don't overcook the Swiss chard: Overcooked Swiss chard will be mushy and lose its flavor. Cook the Swiss chard just until it is tender, about 3-5 minutes.
  • Season the Swiss chard to taste: Season the Swiss chard with salt, pepper, and nutmeg to taste. You can also add other herbs and spices, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or dried thyme.
  • Serve the Swiss chard immediately: Creamed Swiss chard is best served immediately. If you need to make it ahead of time, you can store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

Creamed Swiss chard with lemony breadcrumbs is a delicious and easy-to-make side dish. It's a great way to use up fresh Swiss chard, and it's also a good source of vitamins and minerals. The creamy sauce and lemony breadcrumbs add a lot of flavor to the Swiss chard, and the dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
