Steamed Brown Rice With Chard Recipe - Cooking Index
| 1 cup | 160g / 5.6oz | Brown rice |
| 1 | Swiss chard | |
| Nonstick cooking spray - as needed | ||
| 1 cup | 62g / 2.2oz | Sliced green onions |
| 1 | Garlic clove - minced | |
| 1/4 cup | 36g / 1.3oz | Chopped shallots |
| 1 1/2 teaspoons | 7.5ml | Salt - or to taste |
| 1/3 cup | 78ml | Roasted unsalted cashews |
Place the rice in a steamer with 1 1/4 cups of water. Cover and steam until the rice is tender and the water has been absorbed, 55 minutes to 1 hour. (Or place the rice in a saucepan with 2 cups of water, bring to a boil, cover and simmer over low heat until the rice is tender, about 45 minutes.)
Remove the ribs from the chard leaves and chop into 1/2-inch pieces. Chop the leaves into 2-inch pieces.
Spray a large nonstick saucepot with cooking spray. Cook the green onions, garlic, shallots and salt until the onion is just tender, 2 minutes. Stir in the chopped chard ribs. Add 1/4 cup of water, cover and steam 3 to 4 minutes. Add the chopped chard leaves and steam until wilted and tender, about 5 minutes. Stir into the steamed rice. Top with the cashews before serving.
