Sesame Swiss Chard with Mushrooms






Swiss Chard is extremely healthy but many people don't like it's bitter taste very much, so in order to reap it's health benefits they smother it in white sauce, which is not terribly healthy and hugely fattening. Cooking it this way, you are able to eat it hot or cold and I think it tastes pretty good.

 INGREDIENTS

300 g Swiss Chard
250 g Button Mushrooms, quartered.
1 onion, sliced
3 cloves garlic, minced.
3 Tablespoons Lemon Juice
1 Tablespoon Sesame Oil
1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
1 Tablespoon sesame seeds, roasted dry in a pan.
salt and pepper to taste

Wash and chop up the Swiss Chard.
Steam in a pot with just a little water that's attached to the spinach from washing, on a low heat until wilted.
Drain off all excess water.
Fry the onion in a pan until soft.
Add the garlic for another minute or 2 until soft.
Add the mushrooms and stir-fry until done.
Add the spinach
Pour over the lemon juice, sesame oil and olive oil.
Mix well.
Place in a dish and sprinkle over the sesame seeds.
