Prep Time 15 minutes

Cooking Time 25 minutes

Ingredients

2 T butter
1 medium onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, finely grated
750–800 g Swiss chard, washed and chopped (don’t discard the stalks, just slice them finely)
1 cup cream
125 g plain cream cheese
1 cup grated mozzarella cheese
½ cup finely grated Parmesan
¼ t ground nutmeg
sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
a little milk (optional)

Method

1. Melt the butter in a large, heavy-based saucepan (about 30 cm wide) over a medium heat and add the onion. Fry until the onion is soft and translucent, then add the garlic and cook, stirring, for a further minute.

2. Add the chopped spinach – it will look like a lot, but it will shrink. Increase the heat and stir, then cover and allow the spinach to steam and wilt. Stir every 2–3 minutes until the spinach has wilted completely, then add the cream and cream cheese, stirring until smooth. Reduce the heat to low and bring to a simmer.

3. Add the mozzarella, Parmesan and nutmeg and season generously with salt and pepper. If the mixture is too thick, thin it down with a little milk – you don’t want it runny, so just add a little at a time. Remove from the heat, taste again to see if the seasoning is spot on, and add more salt and pepper if necessary. Serve warm as a side dish.
