SWISS CHARD, SUN-DRIED TOMATOES AND PARMESAN ON TOAST

At this time of year, there is no shortage of Swiss chard in our vegetable garden – a vegetable with a history, rich in vitamins and minerals and very versatile in its use. Try this chard, dried tomato and parmesan toasted recipe and accompany it with a glass of Esporão Colheita red 2020.

Ingredients (2 people)

  • Alentejo bread
  • Swiss chard
  • Sun-dried tomatoes
  • Garlic
  • Parmesan
  • Esporão Extra Virgin Olive Oil, to taste
  • Salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Directions

Heat the olive oil in a frying pan, add 1 clove of crushed garlic. Then add the Swiss chard stem, finely chopped, and let cook until aromas can be felt. Add the sun-dried tomatoes, chopped. Next, place the Swiss chard, coarsely chopped, in boiling water for 3/4 minutes. Remove and place in a bowl of ice-cold water for the temperature shock to keep the leaves green. Strain and add to the frying pan with the garlic and stems, sauté and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper.

Toast 2 thick slices of Alentejo bread and, while hot, rub with a clove of garlic, halved – which should dissolve like butter. Top the toast with the Swiss chard, sun-dried tomato and parmesan shavings.

 

 

Enjoy!
