Sauteed chard with cannellini beans
Serves: 6 Prep time: 12 minutes Cook time: 12 minutes
3 tablespoons canola oil
1 large bunch chard (rainbow, red or green); stems removed and cut into 1/2-inch pieces; leaves torn, triple-washed and dried (about 2 1/2 cups stems and 9 cups packed leaves)
kosher salt/fresh, finely ground black pepper
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 large shallot, sliced
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 (15 ounce) can cannellini beans, drained, rinsed
3/4 cup chicken stock
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
Heat oil in a 12-inch saute pan over medium-low heat.
When oil is heated, add the chard stems, season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 4 turns on the pepper mill. Saute until tender crisp, 5-6 minutes.
Add garlic, shallots and red pepper flakes. Saute until the garlic is fragrant and shallots are tender, about 1 minute. (Note: If the pan seems a little dry at this point, add a little more oil).
Gently toss in the beans to warm through. Add chicken stock, chard (the pan will be overflowing at this point, just pile it in) and season with 1 teaspoon salt and five turns on the pepper mill. Cover pan with a lid over medium heat until chard is slightly wilted, 1-2 minutes. Remove lid and gently toss (not to break up the beans) until chard is wilted, 1-2 minutes. Remove from heat. Stir in the butter until melted.
