Steamed Rainbow Chard with Toasted Hazelnuts
This Steamed Rainbow Chard with Toasted Hazelnuts is a delicious and healthy side dish! Chard is perfectly steamed and flavored with the help of a few secret ingredients.
Ingredients
- 1 large bunch Rainbow Chard, rinsed
- Splash Apple Cider Vinegar
- 1 clove garlic, sliced
- 1/4 cup raw hazelnuts
- 1/4-1/2 tsp Red Pepper Flakes
- Olive oil, to drizzle
Instructions
- Add water to the bottom of a medium sauce or saute pan (that fits a steamer basket). No need to add too much, about 1/4 inch up the side of your pan is plenty. Add a splash of apple cider vinegar and the sliced garlic clover. Set your steamer basket in to the pan.
- Prepare the Rainbow Chard: slice off the stalk of each leaf and chop into 1/2 inch pieces. Add to pan. Slice leaves in large pieces, add to pan. Steam for about 3 minutes, until chard is wilted.
- Meanwhile, toast the hazelnuts. In a small skillet, add hazelnuts. Shaking the pan sporadically, heat over medium-low heat until the nuts are fragrant and lightly browned. Immediately remove from heat and transfer to a dish to cool.
- Once the chard is steamed, transfer to a platter. Drizzle with a little olive oil, add hazelnuts that have been lightly chopped, red pepper flakes, and salt and pepper if you prefer.
