Swiss Chard Pudding (Budín de Acelga)
Ingredients:
– 1 bunch of Swiss chard (about 10-12 leaves)
– 1 medium onion, finely chopped
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 cup breadcrumbs
– 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
– 3 eggs
– 1/2 cup milk
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– Salt and pepper, to taste
– Optional: 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
Instructions:
1. **Preheat the Oven:** Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease a loaf pan or a baking dish with a little olive oil or butter.
2. **Prepare the Swiss Chard:** Wash the Swiss chard thoroughly and remove the stems. Chop the leaves finely.
3. **Cook the Onions and Garlic:** In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.
4. **Cook the Swiss Chard:** Add the chopped Swiss chard to the skillet with the onions and garlic. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the chard is wilted and tender, about 5-7 minutes. Season with salt, pepper, and optional nutmeg. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
5. **Prepare the Batter:** In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs and then add the milk. Stir in the breadcrumbs and Parmesan cheese. Mix well.
6. **Combine Everything:** Add the cooked Swiss chard mixture to the egg mixture and stir until well combined.
7. **Bake:** Pour the mixture into the prepared loaf pan or baking dish. Smooth the top with a spatula.
8. **Cook Until Set:** Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the pudding is set and golden brown on top.
9. **Serve:** Allow the pudding to cool slightly before slicing and serving. It can be served warm or at room temperature as a main dish or side.
