3 tb Virgin olive oil
1 Garlic clove; sliced
2 sm Dried red chile peppers
-=OR=- Double amount
1 bn Swiss chard (about 1 1/2 lb)
3 md Carrots
Salt and pepper
Vinegar
-=OR=- Sliced Lemon Wedges
This can be either a hot side dish or a room-temperature salad. WARM
THE OLIVE OIL in a pan with the garlic and chile peppers. Once the
garlic slices are brown, remove them and set the oil and peppers
aside. Separate the chard stems from the leaves. Cut the leaves into
large pieces and wash them. Trim the uneven ends off the stems. Then,
to make the stems as tender as possible, peel off the thin,
transparent outer skin from each stem. Catch the edge of a knife
under the top layer of skin, and pull it down the length of the stem.
It sometimes helps, especially if the stem is cured, to first cut the
stem in half lengthwise. Peel both sides of the stems, cut them into
2-inch lengths. Then lengthwise into narrow strips. Peel the carrots,
slice them into long, 1/4-inch diagonals, then into narrow strips.
Bring 4-to-5 quarts of water to a boil, and add 4 teaspoons of salt.
Briefly cook the chard stems and the carrots separately until each is
tender--about a minute for the carrots, 2-to-3 minutes for the chard.
Remove them from the water and set them aside. Plunge the chard
leaves into the water and cook until they are tender, 3-to-5 minutes,
depending on the quality of the chard. When they are done, remove
them to a colander. Press against the leaves with the back of a
wooden spoon to get rid of the water then put them in a bowl with the
stems and the carrots, and toss them with the olive oil. Season with
salt and serve with vinegar or slices of lemon.
