SWISS CHARD WITH ROASTED GARLIC



Swiss Chard with Roasted Garlic image

Provided by Food Network

Categories     side-dish

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

10 large cloves garlic, halved
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano, crumbled
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 1/2 pounds Swiss chard, washed and dried
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons finely chopped white onion
2 serrano chiles, stemmed, seeded, and finely chopped
2 medium tomatoes, cored and finely chopped
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup water

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Make a double layer of aluminum foil about 6 x 6 inches square. Place the garlic in the center and bring up the sides a little to form a cup. Drizzle over the olive oil and add the oregano, salt, and pepper. Bring the sides all the way up and twist together to make a firm seal. Place in the oven and roast for 20 to 25 minutes. The garlic should be tender and golden but not dark brown. Open the top so the garlic will stop cooking and set aside.
  • Remove the leaves from the stalks of chard, finely chop the stalks and roughly shred the leaves. Set aside.
  • In a large heavy skillet heat the oil over medium heat. Add the onion and chiles and stir for about 1 minute. Add the tomatos and cook, stirring, for about 3 minutes, then add the chard ribs and leaves, salt, and water. Cover the pan and cook, shaking the pan occasionally, for 10 minutes. Remove the lid, add the roasted garlic cloves, and increase the heat to high. Stirring occasionally, cook until the chard is tender but not watery, 8 to 10 minutes more. Taste for seasoning and serve immediately.

SPAGHETTI AND SWISS CHARD WITH GARLIC CHIPS



Spaghetti and Swiss Chard With Garlic Chips image

Executive food editor Kemp Minifie brought the idea for this restorative pasta from her own home. Everyone in the test kitchen loved the briny intensity of feta and olives offset by sweet currants and slightly bitter chard. The garlic doesn’t stay crisp for long, so be sure to serve immediately.

GARLICKY SWISS CHARD



Garlicky Swiss Chard image

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.
