Creamed Swiss Chard
Description
Creamed Swiss Chard starts by separating the stems and leaves, chopping them suitably. The stems are sautéed with minced garlic in olive oil until tender-crisp, then heavy cream, seasoned salt, and black pepper are added and gently simmered to thicken the sauce slightly. Finally, the chopped leaves are added and cooked until just wilted.
The preparation results in a creamy vegetable side where the slight bite of the stems contrasts with the softness of the leaves, all enveloped in a mildly seasoned cream sauce with garlic aroma.
This dish can accompany main courses needing a vegetable side with a creamy texture and rich flavor. It lasts refrigerated for up to four days, and reheating by sautéing helps restore texture and warmth.
Ingredients
- 1 bunch swiss chard
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- ½ cup heavy whipping cream
- ¼ teaspoon seasoned salt or to taste
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Wash chard and dab dry. Separate stems from the leaves.

- Add leaves and cook until wilted, 2-3 minutes more. Season with salt & pepper to taste.
Notes
