A great way to prepare this interesting vegetable--plenty of color and texture. I typically serve this over pasta, but I imagine it would go well over rice as well. Creamy and spicy at the same time, this gets good reviews for some of my pickiest friends.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Healthy Recipes     Gluten-Free Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 10

6 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 medium onion, finely chopped
1 large garlic clove, finely chopped
3 to 4 large bunches Swiss chard, stems cut into 1/4-inch pieces (2 cups), and leaves cut into 3/4-inch strips, then halved (18 cups)
6 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 3/4 cups whole milk
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1 3/4 teaspoons coarse salt
Freshly ground pepper
3/4 cup heavy cream

Steps:

  • Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large saute; pan over medium heat. Add onion and garlic; cook, stirring occasionally, 5 minutes. Add chard stems; cook, stirring occasionally, until stems begin to soften, about 7 minutes. Stir in half of the chard leaves and 2 tablespoons water; cook, stirring occasionally, until very tender, about 15 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl; cover. Add remaining chard leaves and 2 tablespoons water to pan; cook, stirring occasionally, until very tender, about 15 minutes. Stir into bowl.
  • Melt remaining 4 tablespoons butter in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Add flour, stirring to avoid forming lumps. Gradually whisk in milk and nutmeg; season with salt and pepper. Raise heat to medium; bring to just below a boil, stirring occasionally; cook 2 minutes more, whisking constantly. Whisk in cream. Pour into chard mixture; stir to combine. Serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh Swiss chard: Look for Swiss chard with crisp, brightly colored leaves and firm, tender stems.
  • Prepare the Swiss chard properly: Wash the chard thoroughly and remove any tough stems. Cut the leaves and stems into bite-sized pieces.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: In addition to Swiss chard, you can also add other vegetables to this dish, such as onions, garlic, carrots, celery, and bell peppers.
  • Don't overcook the Swiss chard: Swiss chard cooks quickly, so be careful not to overcook it. The leaves should be tender but still have a bit of a crunch.
  • Season the dish to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste. You can also add a squeeze of lemon juice or a dollop of sour cream for a bit of extra flavor.

Conclusion:

Swiss chard ribs in cream sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is a great way to get your daily dose of vegetables, and it is also a good source of fiber and vitamins. Serve it with rice, pasta, or your favorite side dish.
