Tommy and I like eating greens. We usually just saute them in garlic and some oil and then salt them. But sometimes that gets a little boring, which is why I was very excited to find this recipe. It is a very delicious way to sneak in some healthy greens to any meal. I think that it is an appropriate portion to serve as a side dish for 2 very hungry people.

The most recent time that I made this, it turned out way too salty. I don’t know if it is because I added too much salt, or because the prosciutto that I happened to get was a little saltier than last time. It was still good, but I probably would have eaten more if it was less salty. I took out the salt from the recipe, but if you wanted to salt it, do it at the end before you add the cheese.

Creamy Swiss Chard with Prosciutto

Ingredients
2 tbsp olive oil
1/4 cup diced prosciutto

1/3 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 tsp nutmeg

Preparation
Heat the olive oil in a medium pan over medium heat. Add prosciutto and saute for 1 minute. Add the onion and garlic, and increase the heat to high. Saute for 1 more minute stir often. Add the chard and saute for 5 minutes. Add the heavy cream and bring to a simmer. Cook until the chard is tender, about 5 more minutes. Remove from the heat and add the Parmesan and nutmeg. Serve as soon as possible.
