Braised Chard (Pancar Kavurmasi)

March 1, 2018 by eeturner Leave a Comment

This dish is simple but delicious. With minimal effort and ingredients, it creates a beautiful dish. The chard is the star of this recipe and paired with the thick creamy yogurt and bread, it makes this dish a complete meal.

Here’s the recipe:

  • 1 bunch of chard
  • 1 onion (diced)
  • 1 red pepper (sweet or bell, diced)
  • 2 garlic cloves (minced)
  • 3 c suzme yogurt (or any thick yogurt)
  • 2 TBSP tomato paste
  • 2 TBSP butter
  • 1 TBSP olive oil
  • 1 TBSP red pepper flakes
  • salt & pepper (to taste)
 
Preparation:
Clean and thinly slice the chard.
Place the chard in hot water for 2-3 minutes. Then remove from the water, drain and set aside to cool. Once cooled, squeeze out the excess water.
In a large stock pot, melt the butter and add the oil. Add the onion and red pepper and sauté until they are tender.

Then add the tomato paste and chard. Stir until well combined.
Season with red pepper flakes, salt and pepper.
Cook for another 5-10 minutes, stirring frequently.
To serve, plate the chard on a serving dish and place the yogurt around the edges of the dish.
