Ingredients
  • 1 tablespoon Olive oil
  • 1 pinch Crushed Red Pepper
  • 1/2 cup Sweet onion, chopped
  • 1/2 cup Sweet corn kernels, cooked (1 ear)
  • 2 cups Swiss Chard, chopped finely (greens+stems)
  • Kosher salt and fresh-ground pepper
  • 1 Garlic clove, minced
  • 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese, grated, plus some for garnish
  • 1/4 cup Cherry or other tomatoes, chopped, plus some for garnish
Directions
  1. Heat oil + crushed red pepper in large, deep skillet over medium-high flame for 30 seconds. Add onion and corn; stir and cook 3 minutes or until vegetables are softening. Stir in chard and season well with salt and pepper. Cook 4-5 minutes, stirring, or until chard is wilted and tender.
  2. Add garlic, Parmesan, and chopped tomatoes. Let cook 1-2 minutes. Serve hot alone for lunch or for dinner with a few ounces of grilled rare beef filet, medium rare pork tenderloin, or with sautéed mushrooms stirred into Minnesota wild rice. Garnish with Parmesan and tomatoes.
  3. Leftovers? Heat up a small skillet, add about a half-cup of the chard mixture and let warm through. Stir in two well-beaten, seasoned eggs and let cook until eggs are done to your liking. Breakfast is served.

A bit surprising to see this hasn't been reviewed yet. We had everything on hand and it went together quickly. We did use more corn and also crumbled some bacon left from another recipe over the top. Sadly, no leftovers to try with eggs - next time.
