Chard with Mushrooms and Pine Nuts

Simple savory sauteed Swiss chard  with mushrooms



Ingredients:

  • 1 bunch Swiss chard
  • 6 1/2 ounces crimini  or brown  mushrooms, sliced
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1/4 cup dry Swiss red wine, such as Merlot
  • 1 tablespoon fresh summer savory leaves or fresh thyme

Method:

  3. Heat butter in a deep saute pan; add chard stems and mushrooms and cook a couple minutes.
  4. Stir in the red wine and cook until it dissipates.
  5. Add the chard leaves to the pan, cover with a lid and allow to shrink, about 1 minute.
