Chard With Beets in Orange Sauce
- 10 -12 ounces chard leaves, chopped
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 14 cup orange juice, preferably fresh
- 1 teaspoon dried dill
- 1 teaspoon agave nectar
- 1 (15 ounce) can beets, drained well and chopped (I buy sliced beets and chop them into bite sized pieces)
- 1 (15 ounce) can low-sodium chickpeas, drained and rinsed
- 14 cup walnuts, chopped
- 12 teaspoon oil (to coat pan)
- Chop chard and set aside.
- I like to cut it into crosswise strips, then cut the strips into 2 inch pieces.
- Sauce: Combine cornstarch in orange juice until dissolved.
- Add dill and agave nectar and mix well.
- Add beets, chickpeas and walnuts to sauce and set aside.
- Coat large covered non-stick frying pan or Dutch oven (at least 5 quarts) with oil.
- Add as much chard as will fit.
- Cover and allow greens to wilt down briefly, mixing so chard wilts evenly.
- Continue to add the chard until all of it is in the pan.
- Cook until the leaves are tender, about 5-10 minutes.
- If liquid begins to accumulate, remove cover to evaporate liquid.
- Add sauce mixture to chard and cook, stirring continuously, until sauce begins to bubble.
- Continue stirring while cooking another 1 to 2 minutes.
