GRILLED SWISS-CHARD STEMS WITH ROASTED GARLIC OIL

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to a boil.
• Strip the chard leaves from the stems using a knife, scissors or simply your hands. Reserve the leaves for another use.
• Trim the bottom 1/8 inch of the chard stem, to remove the dry, discolored bit. Clean the stems by submerging in cold water and rinsing thoroughly.
• Aggressively season your boiling water with kosher salt.
• Working in batches, blanch the chard stems until tender, about 5 minutes. Drain well, and let cool on a baker's rack or in a colander to continue draining.
• Grill blanched, dry chard stems evenly on both sides until charred and blistered here and there, like perfect pizza crust looks from a wood oven.
• Cut the stems into batons, and thoroughly dress the stems with roasted garlic oil (see recipe), a few drops of lemon juice and a few flakes of Maldon salt.

STEAK WITH SWISS CHARD AND GARLIC BREAD

Steps:

• Heat broiler, with rack in middle position. In a small saucepan, heat oil and garlic over medium-high until oil bubbles at edges. Add 1 teaspoon garlic oil to a large skillet and heat over medium-high. Season steak with salt and pepper and cook, in batches if necessary, until well browned and medium-rare, 5 to 7 minutes, flipping halfway through. Transfer to a cutting board, tent with foil, and let rest while preparing vegetables.
• Return skillet to medium heat and add garlic slices and 2 teaspoons garlic oil. Add chard stems and cook, stirring occasionally, until crisp-tender, 3 minutes. Add leaves and season with salt and pepper. Cover, reduce heat to medium, and cook until leaves are wilted, 3 minutes. Meanwhile, brush bread with remaining garlic oil, season with salt and pepper, and broil until golden and crisp, 2 minutes. To serve, thinly slice steak against the grain and serve with chard and garlic bread.

SAUTE-STEAMED SWISS CHARD

Steps:

• With a chef's knife or your hands, separate leaves from stems. Cut stems crosswise into 1/2-inch pieces; set aside. Stack leaves, roll them, and cut crosswise into 1/2-inch ribbons. Set aside, keeping separate from stems.
• In a large heavy pot or Dutch oven, heat oil over medium heat. Add garlic and cook until golden, about 1 minute. Stir in chard stems; reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and cook, stirring occasionally until stems have softened, 3 to 5 minutes. Add damp chard leaves and 1/2 cup of water. Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until the greens are completely wilted and tender, 3 to 6 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Serve immediately on a platter or in a bowl, with lemon wedges on the side.

GRILLED SWISS-CHARD PACKETS

Steps:

• Remove 20 of the largest Swiss-chard leaves from the heads without tearing and set aside. Reserve remaining chard for another use.
• Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Have a bowl of ice water ready nearby. Plunge one or two leaves into boiling water for about 10 seconds, just until wilted. Place in ice water until cool, then drain on paper towels. Repeat with remaining leaves.
• Cut tomatoes into 1/4-inch slices. Cut cheese into 1/4-inch slices and trim to approximate size of tomato slices.
• Start a medium-size charcoal fire; when coals are hot, place grill as close to them as possible.
• To assemble Swiss-chard packets, first place a Swiss-chard leaf facedown on a work surface. Cut out thickest part of stalk to about halfway up the leaf. Place a tomato slice in center of Swiss-chard leaf, top with slice of cheese, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and drizzle with olive oil. Fold bottom part of leaf over contents, then fold in sides; fold down top to enclose contents completely. Brush both sides lightly with olive oil, and place on grill. Grill for about 1 to 2 minutes on each side, until lightly charred and heated through. Serve immediately.
