SWISS CHARD WITH PARMESAN
The Silver Spoon, Phaidon Press
Serves 4
Ingredients
• 2 1/4 pounds Swiss chard
• scant 1/2 cup milk
• 3 tablespoons butter
• generous 1 cup Parmesan cheese, freshly grated
• salt and pepper
Directions
Separate the chard leaves from the stems using kitchen scissors or a sharp knife. (Set the leaves aside to make soup.)
Cut the stems into 2-inch pieces and cook in lightly salted, boiling water for 10-15 minutes until tender, then drain well.
Heat the milk to just below simmering point, then remove the pan from the heat.
Melt the butter in a pan, add the chard stems and cook over high heat, stirring frequently, for a few minutes.
Pour in the hot milk, lower the heat to medium and simmer for 5-10 minutes.
Sprinkle with the Parmesan, season with salt and pepper, and transfer to a warm serving dish.
