Chipotle Cheddar Chard

Ingredients

• 2 teaspoons canola oil
• 1 small onion, halved and thinly sliced
• 1 pound chard, stems and leaves separated, chopped (see Note)
• 1 medium tomato, chopped
• 1/4 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth or water
• 1/4-1 teaspoon ground chipotle pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 2/3 cup shredded sharp Cheddar cheese

Cooking Instructions

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion and chard stems and cook, stirring often, until softened, 3 to 5 minutes. Add tomato, broth (or water), chipotle to taste and salt; bring to a simmer. Add chard leaves and cook, covered, stirring once, until just tender, about 2 minutes. Scatter cheese evenly over the chard and cook, uncovered, until the cheese is melted, 1 to 2 minutes more. Serve immediately.

Note: After washing the chard for these recipes, allow some of the water to cling to the leaves. It helps steam the chard and prevents a dry finished dish.
