Swiss Chard Stems with Tahini


Fresh Swiss chard is readily available in the Mediterranean during the springtime. This recipe makes great use of the stems, which might otherwise get thrown away when leaves are used for soups, stews, or are stuffed.

Ingredients


1 bunch Swiss chard, stems only (try making Inzimino with the leaves so nothing goes to waste)

½ cup tahini

2 tablespoons lemon juice

3 tablespoons water

Salt

Pepper

Fresh parsley

Instructions


  1. Clean and cut the Swiss chard stems into cubes.
  2. In a medium saucepan, bring water to a boil, add the Swiss chard stems. Reduce to a simmer and cook until the stems are tender (5-10 minutes). Drain the stems and set them aside.
  3. Meanwhile, in a medium bowl combine the tahini, lemon juice, and water and mix well. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Stir well until you have a nice smooth paste.
  4. Pour the sauce over the Swiss chard stems and mix to coat the stems.
  5. Sprinkle the stems with fresh parsley and serve.
