Swiss chard stir-fry with peppers

Ingredients for 4 servings:

• 800 g chard
• 1 red bell pepper(s)
• 1 bunch of spring onions
• 1 clove(s) garlic
• 100 ml dry white wine or vegetable stock
• tbsp lemon juice
• tbsp crème fraîche
• Salt
• Cayenne pepper
• Oil for frying

Instructions

Working time approx. 20 minutes; Cooking/baking time approx. 10 minutes; Total time approx. 30 minutes

Separate the chard into individual leaves and wash thoroughly. Separate the green leaves from the stems. Roughly chop the leaves. Finely slice the chard stems and spring onions. Dice the bell pepper. Finely grate or press the garlic. Heat oil in a pan and fry the spring onions and garlic, stirring occasionally. Add the chard stems and bell pepper and fry for about 2 minutes. Add the leaves and deglaze with white wine (or stock) and cook for about 5 minutes at medium heat. Stir in the lemon juice and crème fraîche and season with salt and cayenne pepper. Pasta goes well with this. It’s also a great side dish to meat (e.g., lamb or beef). I usually eat it as a main course. This filling but low-calorie recipe is enough for 2 people.
