Swiss Chard Moutabbal

I posted this recipe previously in Arabic, but today I “re-posted” it in English due to popular demand. Whenever I made Stuffed Swiss chard or Adas bi Hamod, I would keep the stalks and make them this way.

Ingredients

• 1 bunch Swiss chard stalks
• 2 small garlic cloves, crushed
• 4 tablespoons Tahini
• Juice of 1 lemon

Preparation

• Wash the stems removing any bad ones, wash and chop into 1inch pieces, place in the pot covered with water with some salt and boil
• When tender, strain and gently crush them with a pestle and mortar
• Add the garlic and the lemon juice mixing well together
• Add the above mixture and the tahini to the stems and mix well
• Put in a serving plate and top with some extra virgin olive oil. Serve with pita bread

ET VOILA… C’EST TOUT… BON APPETIT:)
