WOAHHHHHHHH super cool! we got a blender recently, to accommodate our delivery of tomatillos, which neither of us had any clue what to do with. turns out you make salsa with them, and to do that properly you need a blender. i was a little skeptical, as i couldn’t actually think of much else i would do with a blender......little did i know! :)
our chard crop continues to be gargantuan and amazing, and i’m always on the lookout for yummy (easy :) things to do with it. i had leftover noodles from a night i cooked a whole bag and then only used half with dinner, and i needed a sauce to put on them.
sauce.....chard.....blender.....
i boiled 6 or seven chard leaves for a few minutes (long enough that i would serve them at that consistency) and put them with a little of the water in the blender. not a lot of water, i just kind of didn’t drain them very thoroughly. then i chopped up a good handful of basil and a couple cloves of garlic and blended them for no more than ten seconds (i didn’t have to!) before they turned into a beautiful bright green sauce!
voila! i had put the noodles in my big frying pan with a little butter and bragg’s to get them warming up and poured the sauce straight in. ohhhhhhh it was gorgeous and smelled soooooooo good!
a little fresh basil garnish and salad on the side.....
