Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 cup torn fresh breadcrumbs
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
Kosher salt
2 large bunches Swiss chard, ribs and stems cut into 2" lengths, leaves torn into 2" pieces
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 medium shallots, sliced
Freshly ground black pepper
3/4 cup heavy cream

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400°F. Toss breadcrumbs, oil, and lemon zest on a rimmed baking sheet; season with salt. Toast, tossing once, until golden brown, 8-10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, cook chard leaves in a large pot of boiling salted water until tender, about 1 minute. Drain; transfer to a bowl of ice water to cool. Drain and squeeze well in a clean kitchen towel to remove excess moisture.
  • Heat butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add shallots and chard ribs and stems, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring often, until tender, 5-8 minutes. Add cream; bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer, stirring often, until thickened, about 4 minutes. Add chard leaves and cook, stirring, until warmed through and coated with cream sauce; season with salt and pepper.
  • Top Swiss chard with breadcrumbs just before serving.

I've made this recipe several times now and it's always a crowd-pleaser. The swiss chard is always cooked perfectly and the creamy sauce is so flavorful. The lemony breadcrumbs add a nice touch of brightness and crunch. I highly recommend this recipe

This recipe was a disaster! The swiss chard was overcooked and mushy, and the sauce was watery and flavorless. The lemony breadcrumbs were the only saving grace, but they couldn't make up for the rest of the dish.

I thought this recipe was just okay. The swiss chard was a bit too bitter for my taste and the sauce was a bit bland. I think it needed more seasoning or perhaps some fresh herbs to brighten it up.

Overall, this dish was pretty good. The swiss chard was cooked well and the sauce was creamy and flavorful. However, I found the lemony breadcrumbs to be a bit too overpowering. I think it would have been better with a more subtle breadcrumb topping.

This recipe was a bit too rich for my taste. The sauce was very heavy and the breadcrumbs added an additional layer of richness that was overwhelming. I think it would be better with a lighter sauce or perhaps a different type of breadcrumb.
