Method

  1. Strip the chard leaves from the stalk. Cut the stalk into batons and roughly shred the leaves. Set aside separately.

  2. Heat the oil in a sauté pan and fry the lamb for 5-6 mins over a high heat until browned. Add the onion, garlic, chard stalks and spices and continue to cook for 3-4 mins until softened. Pour over the stock and scatter in the raisins, then simmer for 4-5 mins to make a sauce. Wilt chard leaves through the stock, season and serve scattered with pine nuts.

Quite disappointing - lamb shoulder needs to be slow cooked, it was still grizzly. There is nothing in the recipe to thicken the the sauce so add flour or you will get a soup. Flavour okay, nothing special.

Added some cornflour as a previous comment suggested and thickened the sauce to a gravy consistency. Very nice. If you have time then cook the lamb for longer but nice all the same. Will be making again

This recipe was very simple and delicious. I made a few changes though. I replaced the lamb with a fried egg, missed out the herbs, fruit, nuts,vegetables and stock. I added chips.

This recipe was very easy, although I agree with the comment made below regarding the timings. The lamb would be much more tender if left to cook for longer. Also, the "sauce" was more of a broth, it was quite runny so maybe next time I will add a little cornflour to thicken. This dish would work just as well with spinach if unable to get hold of chard.

Quick, easy and very tasty - and something else to do with all that veg bag chard! Was serving three hungry people so served with harisa couscous to make it a but more of a meal.

I used chicken thighs and spinich and thought it was very tasty. I cooked it for longer than the recommended time to allow the chicken to become more tender.

Found this recipe after a big bag of chard arrived in my veg box. Used beef instead of lamb. I don't eat meat but my girlfriend enjoyed it very much.
