SWISS CHARD FRITTERS
This recipe, adapted from "Jerusalem," by Yotam Ottolenghi and Sami Tamimi, appeared in The Times in 2012 as part of a Hanukkah food article. It is packed with fragrant dill and cilantro, and studded with feta. The fritters would go well with smoked salmon and a little yogurt, or a garlicky spread of beets, dill, walnuts and horseradish that pulls from the Ashkenazi tradition. Either way, they are a great vegetable counterpoint to the starchier dishes of Hanukkah. They cook fast, and should be served warm.

Steps:
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil, add chard and simmer for 5 minutes. Remove from pot and drain well, patting leaves dry with a paper or kitchen towel.
- Place chard in food processor with herbs, nutmeg, sugar, flour, garlic and eggs. Pulse until well blended. Fold in feta by hand.
- Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large sauté pan over medium-high heat. When oil is hot, spoon in 1 heaping tablespoon of mixture for each fritter (you should be able to fit three fritters per batch). Press down gently on fritter to flatten. Cook 1 to 2 minutes per side, until golden brown. Transfer to a baking sheet lined with paper towels. Add another tablespoon oil to pan and repeat. Serve warm, with lemon wedges (optional).
