Ingredients
- 1 bunch Swiss chard
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter
- 1 medium (diced) Yellow onion
- 3 cloves (minced) Garlic
- 8 ounces (sliced) Cremini mushrooms
- 1 tablespoon All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 1 cup Vegetable broth
- 4 ounces (crumbled) Feta cheese
- 0.25 teaspoon Nutmeg
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Wash the Swiss chard thoroughly under cool running water to remove any grit. Separate the stems from the leafy greens. Slice the stems into 1/2-inch pieces and roughly chop the leafy greens.
Step 2
Heat the olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes, until softened and translucent.
Step 3
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds, until fragrant.
Step 4
Add the sliced cremini mushrooms to the skillet. Sauté for 5-7 minutes, until the mushrooms release their liquid and begin to brown.
Step 5
Sprinkle the all-purpose flour over the mushroom-onion mixture. Stir well to evenly coat the vegetables with the flour.
Step 6
Slowly pour in the heavy cream and vegetable broth, whisking constantly to avoid lumps. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and cook for 2-3 minutes, until slightly thickened.
Step 7
Add the Swiss chard stems first, cooking for 2-3 minutes to soften. Then, stir in the chopped chard leaves and cook for an additional 3-5 minutes, until wilted and tender.
Step 8
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the crumbled feta cheese. Season with nutmeg, salt, and black pepper, adjusting to taste.
Step 9
Serve immediately as a side dish or over cooked grains for a hearty vegetarian meal.
