I love swiss chard and this is a really good recipe using it. Unlike other chard dishes, this uses the stems too. I saute them a little bit first, then add the leaves. Taking a guess at the prep and cook time as I never timed it and the recipe was given to me by a friend, times and servings were not included. Read more See less
Ingredients
- 1-2 large bunches of swiss chard (I personally use the rainbow if I can find it. Makes a very pretty dish) shopping list
- 2 12-oz. packages of your choice of tortellini shopping list
- 1 Tbsp. olive oil shopping list
- 3-5 cloves garlic (depends on how much you like garlic), chopped shopping list
- 2-3 shallots or 2 small onions, chopped shopping list
- 1/2 to 1 cup of chicken or vegetable broth shopping list
How to make it
- Boil some water.
- Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a large skillet or sauté pan
- When the water boils, add the tortellini and cook as directed
- Drain, and keep warm
- Cook the garlic and shallots until soft
- While they’re cooking, chop up the chard
- Add the chopped chard stems to the garlic and shallots and begin to let it soften
- Then begin adding the leaves, letting them wilt before adding the next handful
- About halfway through adding all the chard, pour in enough broth to moisten everything and make it saucy
- You want about 1/8 inch of broth in the bottom of your pan
- Continue sautéing the chard and letting the broth cook down until the broth coats the chard-shallot-garlic mixture
- Toss in the tortellini, mix well and serve immediately
- Top with grated Parmesan and salt and pepper to taste.

Thank you for this recipe. Dr took away most of my greens but said I could have chard, kale and collards. I love chard, but never have tried mixing it with other ingredients. Will learn to now..
