Lemon Garlic Rainbow Chard

[Guest guest]

Hi everybody,

I have followed in Lewanna's footsteps here and have created the most tasty

greens dish! I hope my greens angel is proud of me!

I made this tonight and had it with mac and cheese, then had tea and applepaj

for dessert.

 

Oh by the way, the tea I had was tea that Donna had sent me a while back. It

was so good that I went and bought a box, It's not actually tea, it's honeybush.

I got a box made by a company called NUM. If you can try this, you will be

AMAZED at how much it tastes like tea with honey in it.

 

OK, on with the chard recipe:

 

1 bunch Rainbow Chard, or any chard, but the rainbow looks beautiful in the

pan and on the serving dish.

1 tbsp lemon juice (I used the bottled kind)

1 teaspoon garlic powder (you can use fresh garlic of course)

1 tbsp vegetarian worstershire sauce

1 tbsp soy sauce

1/2 apple chopped in small pieces

1 small onion chopped in small pieces

olive oil

vegetable broth

 

Rinse chard very well to make sure there is no grit on the leaves. separate

leaves from the stalks. rip leaves up into pieces, oh, I dunno, about like 2

inches by two inches, don't worry about how big they are, just rip em' up. put

in bowl. Now chop the stalks up in like 1/2 to 3/4 inch peices. In a wok, or

pot, or deep pan add some olive oil, (be generous, a few tablespoons,) the

onion, and the stalks. Saute for 4 or 5 minutes. Add the chard leaves. cover and

cook on very low for 5 minutes, stirring a couple of times. For the vegetable

broth, I used the swanson's canned, add enough broth to just cover the greens,

then add all other ingredients. Bring to a boil then turn heat to low and simmer

with a very low boil on low or medium/low for about 12 minutes.

 

I am now a chard fan, LOL. the leaves come out like the consistancy of

spinach, while the stalks are tender and a little bit crunchy. This dish is

tangy, not bitter, it was wonderful! You will love it!

AND, look how loaded it is!!!
