Chard And Chvre Pizza Recipes

Steps:

• Position a rack in the middle of the oven and preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Remove the stems from the chard but keep the leaves whole. Add the chard to the boiling water (the pot will be packed at first) and cook for 10 minutes. Drain in a colander and run under cool water. Drain again, then wrap the chard in a kitchen towel and squeeze to remove the excess water. Chop the chard.
• Meanwhile, heat the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the flour and cook, whisking, for 1 minute. Whisk in the milk and season with salt, pepper and a little nutmeg. Simmer until the sauce is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon. Adjust the seasonings to taste. Stir in 1/3 cup Roasted Garlic Paste.
• Spread half the chard in the bottom of a medium casserole dish. Top with half the garlic sauce and half the cheese. Repeat the layers, ending with the cheese. Bake for 15 minutes. Remove the casserole from the oven and turn on the broiler.
• Halve the bread lengthwise, then cut in half crosswise to make four 12-inch-long pieces. Broil the bread, cut-side up, until charred, about 1 minute. Slather with the remaining Roasted Garlic Paste and top each piece with one-quarter of the chard au gratin. Cut each pizza in half and serve.
• The unbaked chard au gratin can covered be and refrigerated for a make-ahead meal. Bring to room temperature, then bake as directed.
• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Arrange the garlic in a cluster on a large piece of foil and drizzle with 1/4 cup EVOO. Wrap up the garlic in the foil to make a tightly sealed pouch. Roast until very tender, about 45 minutes. Let cool, then squeeze the garlic from the skins into a food processor. Add the remaining 3/4 cup EVOO and the honey and season with salt and pepper. Puree until smooth, then transfer to a small container. (Alternatively, you can mash the garlic paste with a fork instead of using a food processor.)

Steps:

• Place a rack in upper third of oven and preheat to 450°F. Heat 2 Tbsp. oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Add sausage and break into small pieces with a wooden spoon. Let cook, undisturbed, until bottom sides are browned, about 4 minutes. Add chard stems; cook, tossing occasionally, until crisp-tender, about 2 minutes. Transfer sausage and chard stems to a medium bowl with a slotted spoon.
• Let skillet and drippings cool until just warm, then add chard leaves, turning to coat. Season with salt and pepper; transfer to bowl with sausage mixture.
• Coat dough with remaining 1 Tbsp. oil and stretch into an 18x12" oval on a large rimmed baking sheet; season with salt and pepper. Top with half of Parmesan and rosemary, followed by sausage mixture, Fontina, ricotta, then remaining Parmesan and rosemary.
• Bake pizza, rotating sheet halfway through, until crust is golden brown and crisp, 18-22 minutes. Let cool 5 minutes.

Steps:

• Place pizza stone or inverted baking sheet in oven and heat to 500 degrees.
• Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook garlic until just tender, about 1 minute. Add chard stems and cook, stirring, until tender, about 5 minutes. Working in batches, add leaves and cook until just wilted, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and set aside.
• Stretch dough into a 10-by-14-inch rectangle and transfer to a piece of parchment. Brush with remaining oil and season with salt. Sprinkle with half the Gruyere, then top with chard and sprinkle with remaining Gruyere.
• Transfer to the oven: Slide parchment onto stone or baking sheet and bake pizza until cheese is bubbly and crust is golden, 13 to 15 minutes. Sprinkle with pepper flakes.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Mix the cornbread mix, milk, butter and egg in a bowl until smooth. Coat a large, cast-iron skillet with the oil. Add the cornbread mixture to the skillet and, using your fingers, press it until it covers the entire surface area of the skillet. Bake until golden around the edges, 15 to 20 minutes. Let cool.
• Mix together the ricotta, Asiago, Pecorino Romano and Parm in a small bowl.
• In a separate skillet, brown the sausage over medium-high heat, crumbling the sausage with a spoon and cooking until golden brown and no longer pink. Drain on a paper towel, but reserve the fat in the skillet. Lower the heat to medium and add the greens. Season with salt and pepper and saute until wilted and cooked through, about 5 minutes. Let cool.
• Preheat the broiler.
• Smear a good layer of the cheese mixture on top of the crust. Top with the crumbled sausage and sauteed chard. Place under the broiler until bubbling and melted, 3 to 5 minutes. Top with the sliced peppers and serve!

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F Chop chard stems into 3/4-inch pieces. Chop chard leaves into 3/4-inch-wide strips. Set aside.
• Heat oil in large skillet over medium-high heat. Add tomatoes, mushrooms, onion, and chard stems. Cook 10 minutes, or until vegetables are tender and tomatoes are soft, stirring occasionally.
• Add garlic, chili powder, and chard leaves. Season with salt and pepper. Cover, reduce heat to medium-low, and cook 2 minutes, or until chard is wilted.
• Meanwhile, coat baking sheet with cooking spray. Press pizza dough into 15- x 10-inch rectangle on baking sheet.
• Bake 10 minutes. Top crust with warm tomato-chard mixture, and sprinkle with goat cheese. Bake 15 to 17 minutes more, or until crust is browned and goat cheese is melted.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Remove the center filament from each large piece of chard, and cut them up into pieces of about 1"x 2". In a soup kettle with a cover, add one tablespoon of olive oil, the lemon juice, 1/2 cup of water and bring to a boil. Add the Swiss chard, lower the heat, cover, and cook until tender. Stir occasionally. Remove the cover, add the chevre in small pieces, and boil away most of the water. Add the half and half, and bring to a boil. In a mixing bowl, stir the cream and the egg yolks, and season with salt and pepper. Take the pan with the chard off the heat, remove 1/4 cup of the liquid and add it to the egg yolk mixture to warm it up, then add the egg yolk mixture back into the pan and mix thoroughly. Pour into a large pie pan or oven casserole, place in the oven and bake (uncovered) until golden, about 25 to 35 minutes. Serve at table either hot or warm.
