  • 100 g pine nuts

Instructions

  1. 1.

    Preheat the oven grill.

    Remove stems from the Swiss chard, wash and dry. Slice stems into fine strips, cut leaves into wide ribbons. Peel onion and garlic, dice finely and sauté in 4 tbsp olive oil. Add the stem strips and cook for 4 minutes, then add the leaf ribbons and cook another 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.

    Toast pine nuts in a dry pan until golden. Arrange the cooked chard on plates, top with grilled feta slices, and sprinkle with toasted pine nuts before serving.
