Flushed with success after making Alison's Swiss chard Pesto thought I'd make another Swiss Chard recipe taken from the Riverford site.
Swiss Chard Rissoles
It's a bit vague...
Swiss Chard (I used 1lb)
Coarse Oatmeal
Salt, Pepper
Nutmeg
1 egg
Wash the chard and cook till softening in the water left on the leaves. ( I took most of the stalks out and tore up the leaves)
Drain and lightly squeeze out any moisture. Chop roughly (used the processor)
Put in a bowl, add a handful of oatmeal (I only had rolled oats which made them a bit chewy), season with salt, pepper and nutmeg and mix together with the egg.
Stand for at least 30 minutes
Form rissoles and either pan fry or put on a greased baking tray in the oven (hot) until lightly browned.
I thought it sounded a bit bland so I put small squares of feta cheese in the middle and the salty taste went well with the chard.
I think next time I try it I'll fry an onion and a chilli and mix that in as well.
I don't really like chard, especially eating it au naturel but this was quite tasty.
best wishes
