Spicy Swiss chards
On September 2020, I am taking on the challenge of offering you a new recipe every day based on a seasonal vegetable or fruit.
Today is about Swiss Chards, a delicious seasonal treat!
This is a vegetable that I particularly like, probably because of its similarities with spinach. I’ve never taken the time to prepare it myself before, it was a mistake 🙂
As an alternative to creamed chard, I suggest today this Spicy Swiss chards recipe, as a new version with curry, cumin & paprika.
As you’ll read it below, you need very few ingredients for this recipe. Besides, it really is quick to prepare. Serve these with potatoes or rice!
See you tomorrow for new inspirations!
Enjoy,
Caroline

Curry: 1 tsp
Cumin: 1 tsp
Paprika (I like to use smoked paprika): a fewInstructions
2- Mince the red onions. Set aside.
3- Prepare the chard with the super tip of the scissors.
(Yes, using scissors instead of a knife saves us precious time)
∞ Cut out the green part to separate it from the white. Chop the leaves into pieces. Set aside.
∞ Cut the cards into pieces of about 4 cm long, always with scissors, without trying to get rid of the threads: there won't be any!
4- Cook the chards in boiling water for about ten minutes. Drain. Set them aside.
5- Fry the onion in an oiled frying pan. Mix for a few minutes. Add the curry, cumin and paprika. Mix for a minute.
6- Add the leaves. Leave to reduce for a few minutes.
7- Add the stock cube, 5 cl of water and the chards. Cover and leave to cook for 15 minutes on a low heat.
8- Finish cooking without cover. Adjust the seasoning and spices. When there is no more water, it's ready!
