Swisschardscramble Recipes

Steps:

• Slice the stems into 1-inch pieces and reserve. Stack the chard leaves into a pile. Roll together into a bundle and slice into 1/2-inch ribbons.
• Heat the oil in a Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the bacon and saute until browned, rendering the fat. Add the onion and garlic and cook until translucent. Add the red pepper flakes and the chard stems, cook for 3 to 4 minutes and then season with salt and pepper.
• Begin to add the chard ribbons in batches. Once the chard wilts down, add the next batch. Stir occasionally until completely tender, about 5 minutes. Add the balsamic vinegar and serve.

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil on a large skillet over medium heat. Stir in the garlic and cook until tender and aromatic, about 2 minutes. Add the Swiss chard and balsamic vinegar; cook and stir until the chard is wilted and tender, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper and serve.

Steps:

• Heat oil in a medium skillet.
• Add onion and garlic and saute about 5 minutes.
• Add chard and herbs.
• Saute until wilted, about 2 minutes.
• Add eggs, cheese, salt, and pepper.
• Cook, stirring, until eggs are set.

Steps:

• In a medium pot, heat 2 cups oil to 325 degrees F.
• In a bowl, toss the shallot slices with the flour. Test a shallot slice to assure the oil is sufficiently hot enough to fry the shallots. Fry them in small batches until golden brown, removing them with a slotted spoon and drain them on a paper towel. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
• Heat a large skillet, and add 1 tablespoon of oil. When the oil begins to smoke, add the Swiss chard stalks and season with salt and pepper. Cook until tender, 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer to a serving bowl. Heat the remaining oil and quickly saute the leaves until they "wilt", 1 to 2 minutes. Combine in the bowl with the stalks. Stir in the olive oil and sherry vinegar. Top with the shallots.

Steps:

• Cook bacon in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until fat begins to render, about 2 minutes. Add 3 tablespoons oil, potatoes, onion, chard stems, and rosemary; season with salt. Cook until potatoes are tender and browned in places, 13 to 15 minutes. Stir in chard leaves and garlic, season with pepper, and cook, stirring a few times, until leaves are tender, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a serving dish; loosely cover to keep warm.
• Add remaining 1 tablespoon oil to skillet and place over medium heat. When oil shimmers, add eggs, season with salt, and cook, stirring frequently, until just set, about 1 minute. Serve with potato mixture and salsa.
