“For me no good food is illuminated without acidity.” - Alex Guarnaschelli
For me, it is very important to get my veggies in as often as I can - and rainbow chard is definitely one of my favorites. This dish is super filling on its own, or the perfect accompaniment to any protein of your choice.
Today, I’m sharing this super simple dish, check out the recipe below.
What You’ll Need:
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
3 large garlic cloves, chopped
4 pounds rainbow chard
1/2 cup shredded carrots
salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
freshly grated parmesan cheese, for garnish
Directions:
STEP 1: Rinse and clean off rainbow chard thoroughly.
STEP 2: Chop up the chard to desired length and width, adding in a few of the stem pieces as well.
STEP 3: In a large pot, add in olive oil over medium to high heat, and cook the chopped garlic until golden.
STEP 4: Next, gradually add in the chard leaves, and as they cook down, gradually add in additional handfuls.
STEP 5: Add in shredded carrots, lemon juice, and season with salt, as well as pepper. Continue to cook and stir until the leaves are softened, and liquid is evaporated from the pot. This will take about 7-10 minutes.
STEP 6: Immediately serve, and garnish with parmesan cheese.
