Ultra Simple and Delicious Sautéed Chard
A tasty salad with a few and simple ingredients
Ingredients
- 350 gr chard or other greens, such as spinach, beet leaves, etc.
- 125 g of sunflower seed milk for homemade one, see recipe below
- 1 medium onion
- 3 garlic cloves
- 3-5 tbsp olive oil
- 130 gr of water in which you boiled the greens
- 10 dried tomato pieces
- salt
- pepper
- garlic powder
- turmeric
- Himalayan black salt - Kala Namak optional for egg flavor
- 1 tsp soda optional
For the sunflower seed milk
- 50 gr sunflower seeds
- 150 gr of water
Instructions
- If you want to make your own homemade sunflower seed milk, put the seeds in the blender with water and strain the milk. Keep 125 gr of this plant-based milk.
- Thoroughly clean the chard or any greens you will use.
- Optional step: blanching. If you want the greens to have a vivid, bright color, put them in boiling water with soda for 1 minute and then, immediately in cold/icy water for another 1 minute. Keep 130 gr of the water where your greens were boiled for later use.
- In this water, soak the dried tomatoes.
- If you do not want to blanch them, cook them directly in the pan (see next steps).
- Heat olive oil in a pan. Add the chopped onion and garlic and then, a little salt and pepper, garlic powder and turmeric. Sauté them.
- Continue sautéing by adding the greens coarsely chopped. Stir all the ingredients well.
- Add the plant-based milk, the tomatoes, and the water from the boiled greens. If you did not boil them, add tap water. Stir all the ingredients well.
- Let them simmer for about 10 minutes until most of the liquid has evaporated. We want to have a bit of liquid to accompany the bread. 😉
- Finally, in the serving, you can add Himalayan black salt (Kala Namak) for an egg flavor. 😉
