Recipe information

  • Yield

    serves 6 or more. serving size: 1 cup.

Ingredients

2 pounds red or green Swiss chard
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 pound mild Italian sausage, casings removed
2 large onions, finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 pound mushrooms, sliced
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
2 cups beef stock
6 large eggs
Salt
1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Rinse the greens well. Cut the chard leaves into thin shreds; thinly slice the stems. You should have about 5 cups, lightly packed. Set the greens aside.

    Step 2

    Place a wok or 12-to 14-inch skillet over high heat. Add the oil.

    Step 3

    Crumble the sausage into the pan, stirring frequently until the meat is well browned, about 10 minutes.

    Step 4

    Add the onions, garlic, mushrooms, nutmeg, pepper, and oregano. Stir often, until the onions are soft.

    Step 5

    Add the beef stock.

    Step 6

    Stir in the greens, a portion at a time, until all the greens are in the pan and just wilted, 10 minutes.

    Step 7

    Beat the eggs lightly in a bowl. Add the eggs to the pan and stir over low heat just until softly set.

    Step 8

    Season to taste with salt.

    Step 9

    Transfer to a warm serving dish and sprinkle with the cheese.
