Swiss Chard with Indian Lime Pickle

• 1/8 cup mild lime pickle (an Indian condiment found at gourmet or Indian food stores or online at EthnicGrocer.com)
• 3 tbsp fresh lemon juice
• 2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
• 2 tbsp salt
• 2 bunches Swiss chard, stems and tough central spines removed
• 1 tbsp unsalted butter
• 1 small shallot, minced
• 1 tsp lemon zest, grated on small or medium blade

1. In a blender, combine lime pickle, lemon juice, and oil and puree until smooth, adding water as necessary to create a liquid.
2. Set aside.
3. Bring a medium pot of water to a boil and add 1 tbsp salt.
4. Prepare an ice bath (a large bowl of ice water with 1 tbsp salt).
5. Add chard to the pot and boil until bright green and very tender (9 to 12 minutes).
6. Drain chard in a colander, submerge briefly in the ice bath to stop cooking, drain again in colander and squeeze to release most of the water.
7. Set aside.
8. Heat butter in a large saute pan on medium heat.
9. When butter is melted, add shallot, sprinkle with a pinch of salt and pepper, cover, reduce heat to low and saute until shallot is translucent, about 4 minutes.
10. Remove from heat.
11. Add chard, lime-pickle puree, lemon zest, and salt and pepper to taste.
12. Mix vigorously.
13. Serve warm.
