Ingredients
VEGGIES Swiss chard is the main ingredient, of course, but this dish would be great with any greens! Sliced and sauteed mushrooms are a great addition. CREAM Use heavy cream for the flavor and texture. If you’re looking to lighten it up a bit, replace the cream with cream cheese and a bit of milk if needed. GARLIC AND SEASONINGS Fresh garlic is recommended in this recipe but garlic powder can be added.
Variations
Add a touch of white wine and let is it simmer until almost evaporated (before adding the cream)! For a fresh flavor, grate in some lemon zest or add a squeeze of lemon juice. Fry up a slice or two of bacon and use the grease in place of oil. Serve with the crisp bacon crumbled on top.
