A fantastically simple and nutritious vegetable side dish. Rainbow chard is sauteed with onion and fresh ginger, before being drizzled with maple syrup.
Ingredients
Serves: 4
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 bunch rainbow chard, leaves and stems separated and chopped
- 50g chopped onion
- 2 (5mm thick) slices fresh root ginger, peeled and julienned
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup

- Heat the oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Cook the chopped chard stems, onion and ginger in the hot oil until they begin to soften; season with salt and pepper. Add the chopped chard leaves to the frying pan; reduce heat to low. Continue cooking until the leaves have wilted, about 2 minutes more. Drizzle the maple syrup over the mixture; stir to coat evenly. Remove from heat and serve.
Ingredients
If you can't get your hands on rainbow chard, use ordinary Swiss chard instead. Also spinach would be a good substitute.

Tasty - omitted the maple syrup though. - 16 Jan 2017
Really easy, quick and lovely. - 08 Oct 2016
Mmmmm! I love this recipe! While the chard was wilting, I added chick peas (garbanzo beans) to the skillet, and served the whole thing over a sort of quinoa "pilaf". Also, using red chard gives the chick peas a lovely, slightly pinkish colour. Altogether, this makes for a complete, easy, and delicious meal. Thanks for the recipe! - 21 Mar 2010 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
