HEIRLOOM TOMATO CONCASSé WITH WILTED SWISS CHARD
Sweet, juicy heirloom tomatoes can be made into a concassé that works as well with vegetables as it does with pasta or grains. Sometimes, I can't bear to cook sweet heirloom tomatoes. I love this concassé with pasta or grains, but this time, I decided to use it as a sauce for Swiss chard. I steamed the chard to wilt it, heated it in a little bit of olive oil, then piled it on my plate and spooned the tomato sauce on top. It's a great combo, and now I think I'll use it as the vegetable and sauce element of a big bowl. A little feta sprinkled over the top would not be lost on this.

Steps:
- In a large bowl, combine the tomatoes with their juices, garlic, salt, vinegar, 1 tablespoon of the olive oil and half the basil. Cover and let sit for 30 minutes or longer. Stir, taste, adjust salt and add pepper.
- Meanwhile, wilt chard by blanching in boiling salted water for about a minute or by steaming above 1 inch of boiling water for about 2 to 3 minutes, flipping the bunch top to bottom using tongs halfway through. Transfer to a bowl of cold water, drain and squeeze out excess water, taking up the chard by the handful. Chop coarsely.
- Heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add chard and heat through, stirring, until coated with oil. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Remove to a platter or to plates, spoon on the tomato sauce, sprinkle t remaining basil over the top and serve.
