A quick healthy and yummy dish... Swiss chard with tahini sauce 🤩 سلق بطحينة
This is a dish I grew up eating that was mainly prepared by my grandma along with many cold mezze varieties for big dinners 😋
Chard is Chard is the definition of a superfood. It contains high amounts of vitamins K, A, C, and E, magnesium, iron, and potassium 💪🏼 and tahini tops all this with iron, antioxidants and vegan protein 🏋️♀️
It is super simple to make and takes less than 1️⃣5️⃣mins:
✏️ingredients:
•2 bunches of Swiss chard (I tried the red one this time) cut and thoroughly washed 🚿
•3 tbsp tahini
•juice of 1 lemon
•2 crushed cloves of garlic 🧄
•3 tbsp water
•salt
♨️Steps:
•Boil some water then add your chard.
•Keep submerging it till it reduces in size, it needs just few mins for the stand to soften (around 5-7 mins)
•drain out of the hot water and place in a mesh strainer to cool
‼️don’t throw away the water, use it in your smoothies, soups or as a base for your veggie stock
•mix the tahini with water, salt, garlic to a smooth consistency
•add lemon 🍋 juice
•squeeze the excess water from the chard then add it in
•mix and serve
We enjoy it cold with Arabic pita bread 🫓👌🏼
