Categories     Chard

Time 2h30m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

5 1/2 lbs swiss chard, stemmed
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
2 large onions, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme leave
1 cup dry white wine
salt
fresh ground black pepper
3 cups low sodium chicken broth
1 loaf Italian bread (1 lb. loaf, day-old, crusty, chewy, peasant-style)
3 lbs tomatoes (sliced 1/2-inch thick)
9 ounces gruyere cheese, shredded (3 cups)
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

Steps:

  • In a large pot of boiling water, cook the Swiss chard for 2 minutes; drain. When the leaves are cool enough to handle, squeeze out the excess water. Coarsely chop the chard.
  • In the same pot, heat the olive oil. Add the onions and thyme and cook over moderately low heat, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 12 minutes. Add the chard and white wine and simmer over moderately high heat until the wine is reduced to approximately 1/4 cup, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. In a small saucepan, bring the chicken broth to a simmer. Butter a 10x15" baking dish. Line the bottom of the dish with 1/3 of the bread slices, over-lapping the slices slightly and cutting the bread to fit in the bottom of the dish. Top with half of the tomato slices and season with salt and pepper. Spread half of the chard on top, then sprinkle with half of the shredded cheese. Repeat the layering once more and then finish with the remaining bread. Pour the hot broth over the casserole and press with a spatula. Brush the top with the melted butter.
  • Cover the dish with foil and bake in the upper third of the oven for 1 hour. Uncover the dish and bake for 10 minutes longer, or until the top is browned and crisp. Let the casserole rest at least 10 minutes before serving.
  • The cooked chard can be made ahead and refrigerated for up to 2 days.

This method of cooking chard was given to me (in very few words) from an organic farmer who was selling the first chard we ever bought. We tried it and could not believe how delicious this was. Delicious! Double this recipe if you are a large family of veggie eaters.

LASAGNA WITH CHARD, TOMATO SAUCE AND RICOTTA



Lasagna with Chard, Tomato Sauce and Ricotta image

This savory vegetarian lasagna is easy to put together. You can assemble it up to a day ahead of time, then bake it shortly before dinner.

Provided by Martha Rose Shulman

Time 1h30m

Yield Serves 4 to 6

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 generous bunch Swiss chard (about 1 1/2 pounds)
Salt
1/2 pound regular or no-boil lasagna noodles
2 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil
2 large garlic cloves, minced or pressed
2 pounds fresh tomatoes, peeled, seeded and diced, or 1 (28-ounce) can chopped tomatoes, with juice
Pinch of sugar
1 large basil sprig
Freshly ground pepper
1/2 cup fresh ricotta cheese
1/3 to 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of generously salted water to a boil while you prepare the chard. Fill a bowl with ice water. Tear the leaves from the stems and wash thoroughly in two changes of water. Discard the stems or set aside for another purpose.
  • When the water comes to a boil, add the Swiss chard leaves. Boil 1 minute (from the time the water comes back to a boil), until tender but still bright green, then remove from the water with a slotted spoon or skimmer and transfer to the ice water. Drain and squeeze out excess water. Chop coarsely and set aside. Cook the lasagna noodles in the same pot of water if not using no-boil lasagna. Remove from the pot and toss with 1 teaspoon olive oil in a bowl.
  • In a wide, nonstick frying pan, heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil over medium heat and add the garlic. Cook, stirring, just until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the tomatoes, sugar, basil sprig, and salt (begin with 1/2 teaspoon and add more later), and bring to a simmer. Simmer, stirring often, until thick, 15 to 25 minutes, depending on the amount of juice in the pan. Taste and adjust seasonings. Remove the basil sprig. Stir in the Swiss chard and remove from the heat.
  • Preheat the oven to 375ºF. Oil a square or rectangular baking dish (no bigger than 2-quart) and line the bottom with a layer of lasagna noodles. Spread half the ricotta over the noodles and half the tomato-chard sauce over the ricotta. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons Parmesan over the tomato-chard sauce. Add another layer of noodles and top with the remaining ricotta and tomato-chard sauce, and 2 tablespoons Parmesan. Finish with a layer of noodles and the remaining Parmesan. Drizzle the remaining tablespoon of olive oil over the top. Cover the dish tightly with foil. Bake 30 minutes, or until bubbling and the pasta is tender. Uncover, allow to sit for 5 minutes, and serve.
