(Acelgas con Rajas de Chile)
Category: Chard
Swiss chard often serves as a wrapping for tamales (see Enchiladas, Tamales, and Tortilla Casseroles: Tamales Wrapped in Swiss Chard), and is added to stewed vegetable dishes. Chard can often be overcooked. I prefer it cooked until just tender. It's wonderful served with Barbecued Pork Steaks Marinated in Red Chile Paste (see Meats).
2 poblano chiles, roasted and peeled

1 bunch Swiss chard (large), rinsed, and stemmed
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 medium white onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic (medium), finely chopped
2 medium tomatoes, peeled and diced
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme leaves
1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground pepper, or to taste
1. Prepare the chiles. Then, cut out the stem end section of the chiles. Discard the stems and cut the chiles open. Remove the seeds and veins. Rinse the chiles, blot with paper towels, and cut into thin strips (about 2 inches × 1/4 inch).
2. Cut the chard leaves crosswise about 1/2-inch wide. Put into a large saucepan and add 1/2 cup water. Cover and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and simmer until the leaves are cooked down and tender, about 8 minutes. Drain the liquid left in the pan and set aside off heat.
3. In a medium nonstick skillet, heat the oil over medium heat and cook the onion and garlic, stirring, until they begin to brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the tomatoes and thyme. Cook, stirring, until bubbling and juicy, 2 to 3 minutes.
4. Transfer the mixture to the pan with the chard. Add the chile strips, salt, and pepper. Heat through, over medium-low heat. Adjust seasoning. Serve hot.
