Chard "Salad" recipe was sent to us by Megan Benner, a farm volunteer with whom we share a symbiotic relationship of inspiration.
Recipe:
Ingredients-
8 leaves chard (stems finely chopped & separated)
2 Tbs. coconut oil
1 yellow onion, diced
1 tsp. each of ground cinnamon & ginger
1/2 tsp. each of ground turmeric & cumin
1/8 tsp. white pepper (I usually substitute with several "twists" of a black pepper grinder)
1 can garbanzo beans, rinsed & drained (I also like to sub with beluga lentils)
1/3 cup each chopped dried apricots & figs (I sub with golden or regular raisins, currants, dried blueberries or cranberries - whatever dried fruits I have on hand)
1/2 cup chopped almonds (again, sub with whatever kind of nuts you like, pine nuts are yummy!)
1 cup cooked couscous (I sub with quinoa for gluten-free, brown rice might also work)
Heat oil in saucepan over med-low heat and sauté onion and chard stems until slightly soft and then add finely chopped leaves and sauté until tender. Stir/fold in spices (I like to use a lot more than the recipe recommends; I usually use a lot more chard too), then beans, dried fruit, nuts and quinoa/rice/couscous. Enjoy!
