Chard and Pine Nut Risotto
This dish takes some time (and a couple of pots and pans) to prepare, but its
decadent flavor and nutritious goodness are well worth the time and effort!
• 1 quart vegetable broth
• 5 cups water
• 1/4 cup pine nuts
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 cup finely chopped onion
• 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
• 2 cups uncooked short-grain brown rice
• 4 cups coarsely chopped swiss chard leaves (about 1 bunch)
• Salt and pepper to taste
Preparation:
1
Mix broth and water together and simmer in a large pot. Leave simmering
and cover.
2
Toast pine nuts in a dry skillet over medium-low heat, shaking frequently to
brown evenly. Remove from heat when fragrant and brown. Transfer to a
separate plate to cool.
3
Heat oil in a medium pot over medium heat. Add onion and garlic and cook,
stirring occasionally, until softened, 4 to 5 minutes. Add uncooked rice and
chard and stir gently, until rice is toasted and fragrant, and chard is wilted
(roughly 4 to 5 minutes).
4
Add 1 cup of the broth-water mixture and cook, stirring constantly and
adjusting heat if needed to maintain a simmer, until liquid is almost
absorbed. Repeat process, adding about 1/2 cup of the broth-water mixture
each time until rice is tender, about 35 minutes.
5
Season to taste, transfer to a medium bowl, and sprinkle with toasted pine
nuts.

Enjoy!
