Minced Meat Stew with Chard & Black eyed Peas

8 Antworten

This week’s ingredient for cooking with the GFGF group ist Holiday green vegetable. It is Nancy’s pick: Any side dish, we might make for Christmas dinner. Brussels sprouts, broccoli, English peas if we hate cruciferous.

Since ages the menu for Christmas Eve and the Christmas holidays is fixed, no cruciferous at all.

Brussels sprouts and broccoli are not compatible with the “Inschennör”. I already served kale with pumpkin, so I opted for Swiss Chard, a green leafy vegetable. The reason: My local discounter had “Turkish Weeks” and I bought some black eyed peas and was looking for a recipe with it.

    Ulrike, I have never cooked with Swiss chard; I’m not certain I have ever tasted it. Your recipe makes me want to try it! It is so interesting to see ways food is prepared in your country.

    I love Swiss Chard and Rainbow Chard so much! Pairing it with all these other ingredients sounds perfect to me. I am hoping that Rainbow Chard counts as Greens for the January 15 posting as I want to make something with that for sure. It’s a beautiful dish, Ulrike.
