Chard and kale recipes

What are your favourite recipes for these lovely veg? I like mine lightly steamed and stirred into some fried onions and garlic, with a bit of chilli and balsamic vinegar. Maybe a scrape of nutmeg on top.

 

Kale i love cut small mixed with some olive oil, salt and sugar and then baked till crispy

Can eat far too much of it that way

 

Here's a soup recipe:

SWISS CHARD AND GREEN BEAN SOUP
Ideal for using up the chard and beans that have gone mad!!
To serve 4

1 medium onion chopped
1 garlic clove chopped
Olive oil
1/2 tsp roast and ground cumin seed
about 1 lb (450gr) Swiss chard, or spinach or a mixture of both, chop stalks and roughly shred leaves.
6-8oz (170-220gr) green beans or shelled broad beans or shelled peas or a mixture of any combination of them - strip any strings off the green beans and chop into 1" pieces.
chopped mint or dill leaves
1.1/2pt (850ml) vegetable stock.

Heat the oil in a pan, sweat the onion, garlic and ground cumin for a few minutes, add the chard, beans, mint and the stock. Cover and simmer gently for 15 minutes or until all soft.

Cool slightly, then process in a blender until very smooth. Return to the pan and reheat.

Serve in warm soup plates, garnish with some olive oil and lemon juice whisked together, a dusting of nutmeg and slivers of Parmesan cheese. Some warm ciabattas, crusty rolls or French bread goes well with this.

 

Agree both lovely veg.
In a potato, chickpea coconut creamy curry. Either kale (chopped quite fine) or chard stirred in for the last 5 minutes of cooking.
I use chard in a veggie mushroom, asparagus and chard lasagne.

My chard completely failed this year, sprouted, looked good and just sat there like midgets all season.
