Swiss Chard And Tortellini Recipe

	Leigh561 / All my dishes 1 year, 11 months ago 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... More Prep:15m Cook:25m Servings:6	Leigh561

Does this look good? Yeah! / Nope

Ingredients

1-2 large bunches of Swiss chard (I personally use the rainbow if I can find it. Makes a very pretty dish)

2 12-oz. packages of your choice of tortellini

1 Tbsp. olive oil

3-5 cloves garlic (depends on how much you like garlic), chopped

2-3 shallots or 2 small onions, chopped

1/2 to 1 cup of chicken or vegetable broth

Directions

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.

I recently joined a Farm Vegetable Share Program and received Swiss Chard in my weekly pick-up. I had never had it before so searched out your recipe and made it for dinner tonite. It was delish!!! Thanks for sharing! Sending good wishes from Buffalo, NY---B. Dahl

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..
