SWISS CHARD WITH CRISPY SHALLOTS

Steps:

• In a medium pot, heat 2 cups oil to 325 degrees F.
• In a bowl, toss the shallot slices with the flour. Test a shallot slice to assure the oil is sufficiently hot enough to fry the shallots. Fry them in small batches until golden brown, removing them with a slotted spoon and drain them on a paper towel. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
• Heat a large skillet, and add 1 tablespoon of oil. When the oil begins to smoke, add the Swiss chard stalks and season with salt and pepper. Cook until tender, 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer to a serving bowl. Heat the remaining oil and quickly saute the leaves until they "wilt", 1 to 2 minutes. Combine in the bowl with the stalks. Stir in the olive oil and sherry vinegar. Top with the shallots.

SAUTEED SWISS CHARD WITH SHALLOTS AND ALMONDS

Steps:

• Prepare the Swiss chard by stripping the leaves from the stems with a knife. Slice the stems on a slight diagonal about 1/2 inch thick. Loosely arrange the leaves and chop into large pieces.
• Toast the almonds in a large skillet over medium heat without oil, shaking the pan occasionally, until the almonds are lightly browned and aromatic, 3 to 4 minutes. Pour them out of the pan to stop them from cooking and set aside.
• Heat the olive oil in the same skillet and increase the heat to medium high. Add the shallots and chard stems and cook, stirring frequently, until soft and browned, about 6 minutes. If the skillet begins to brown too quickly, add 1 to 2 tablespoons water. Add a handful of the chard leaves and a little salt, stirring until they wilt; continue adding leaves, seasoning lightly and wilting, until all the leaves are wilted.
• Transfer to a serving platter, drizzle with the vinegar and some additional olive oil, top with the almonds and sprinkle with dried cherries if using.

• Add fried shallots and garlic, cook 10 seconds, then add Swiss chard and rice wine and toss well to combine. Add fish sauce and chicken stock (or 2 tablespoons water) and continue stir-frying, tossing ingredients together, until chard is just wilted, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer to a bowl; serve immediately.
