Yield:  Serves 4

Don't be put off by the long cooking time - in the end the flavor goes far beyond what's possible with a cursory blanching. A few spoonfuls suffice for a serving or you can use this effectively as a seasoning for rice or lentils.

RECIPE INGREDIENTS

2 large bunches chard, about 2 pounds, leaves sliced into 1-inch-wide ribbons

1 1/2 cups chard stems, trimmed and diced

1 onion, finely diced

1/2 cup chopped cilantro

1/3 cup olive oil

1 teaspoon paprika

1 garlic clove pounded with 1 teaspoon salt

salt and freshly milled pepper

DIRECTIONS

Place all ingredients in a wide, heavy pot with a few pinches salt. Add 1/4 cup water, cover tightly, and cook over low heat for 45 minutes. Check once or twice to make sure there's enough moisture. If anything is sticking, add a few tablespoons of water. When done, taste for salt and season with pepper. The chard should be silky and very fragrant.
