SAVORY SWISS CHARD WITH PORK CHOPS AND POTATOES
A favorite ... This came from a little cook book a girlfriend sent me for a Christmas present one year. Now I added my twist, but basically, this was the recipe. A one dish wonder. Now I love swiss chard and kale and I think they are way under used, so I absolutely love this dish. Now the original dish didn't have potatoes, but I love to add some sliced new potatoes to this dish and it makes it a complete dish. Add some fresh homemade or a good bakery loaf of pumpernickel and roasted peaches over vanilla ice cream for desert.

Steps:
- Casserole -- First remove the pork chops from the refrigerator and let them come to room temperature. Brush well with 1 tablespoon olive oil and then season well with salt, pepper and paprika on both sides.
- Next, spray the casserole dish with a non stick spray and add the swiss chard and top with the sliced onions. Add some salt and pepper and drizzle with olive oil (1 tablespoon). Lightly toss. Then top with the chicken broth and the 4 pork chops.
- NOTE: If you want you could pan sear the pork chops first if you want as one reviewer mentioned, but I don't. But if would give a nice color to the chops if you prefer.
- Cheese -- Sprinkle the cheeses on top of the swiss chard and onions, around the pork chops.
- Potatoes -- In a small bowl add the potatoes, remaining olive oil, salt, pepper and dried thyme and then add them on top of the swiss chard and cheese around the pork chops.
- Bake -- 400 degrees for 20-30 minutes until the chops are done.
- Garnish -- I love to put a good balsamic vinegar on the table so each person can just drizzle a little on if they want. For me the flavor is amazing.
- Just Enjoy!

GARLICKY SWISS CHARD
There's really no secret to making excellent sautéed greens: just good olive oil, salt, loads of garlic and a jolt of red pepper flakes. This method works with pretty much any green too - broccoli, broccoli rabe, kale, spinach, collards, brussels sprouts or green beans - so you've really no excuse not to get your daily dose of vegetables. Serve it as a side to any roasted or grilled meat, or over a mound of creamy polenta that's been crowned with a fried egg.

SKILLET PORK CHOPS WITH SAUTEED SWISS CHARD (SBD P1)
From newest book. Haven't tried. A member of the beet family, Swiss Chard is a cruciferous leafy winter green that delviers a good dose of beta carotene, potassium, and fiber. When preparing chard, cut off the thicker bottom inch or so of each stem and thinly slice the rest of the stem (it's tender), and add to the leaves when cooking. Spinche and kale make good substitutes for swiss chard when you want and change of pace.

PAN-ROASTED PORK CHOPS WITH CRANBERRIES AND RED SWISS CHARD
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400°F.
- Prepare Swiss chard:
- Cook shallots and garlic in butter in an ovenproof 12-inch heavy skillet over moderate heat, stirring, until golden, about 5 minutes. Add chard stems and center ribs and cook, covered, stirring occasionally, until crisp-tender, 3 to 4 minutes. Add leaves and cook, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until tender, 6 to 7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, then transfer chard to a heavy saucepan and wipe out skillet.
- Cook pork chops:
- Pat chops dry and season with salt and pepper. Heat oil in skillet over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then brown chops, about 3 minutes per side.
- Transfer skillet to oven and roast until an instant-read thermometer inserted horizontally 2 inches into meat registers 155°F, 7 to 9 minutes. Transfer chops with tongs to a platter, leaving fat in skillet, and cover chops loosely with foil to keep warm.
- Make sauce:
- Sauté shallots in fat remaining in skillet over moderately high heat, stirring, until golden, about 5 minutes. Add wine and deglaze by boiling over high heat, scraping up brown bits, until reduced by half. Add cranberries and stock and simmer, stirring occasionally, until cranberries begin to burst, about 2 minutes. Stir in brown sugar and thyme and simmer, stirring, until berries are collapsed, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in butter until incorporated, then season with salt and pepper.
- Assemble dish:
- While sauce is cooking, reheat chard over moderate heat, stirring. Divide among 4 plates and top with chops, then spoon sauce over.
Tips:
- For the best flavor, use fresh Swiss chard with vibrant leaves and crisp stems.
- If you don't have any dry white wine on hand, you can substitute chicken broth or water.
- To save time, you can use pre-cut pork chops and frozen cubed potatoes.
- If you prefer your vegetables more tender, cook them for an additional 5-10 minutes.
- Serve the pork chops and vegetables immediately with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, rice, or roasted vegetables.
