Grill Recipe of the Day: Grilled Rainbow Chard With Fava Beans And Oregano

2008_07_02-Grilled.jpgOh my, how much do we want to try this? A lot, that's how much.

 
 

Here beautiful Swiss or rainbow chard stems are blanched to remove toughness, then grilled. Charred chard. Har har. We love grilled vegetables, but this is one we never considered grilling. Tossed with sauteéd fava beans, garlic, and a little oregano and lemon juice we can only imagine how good it tastes.

Grilling favas in their pods is traditional in the Mediterranean, so this entire dish could have been grilled. From my understanding you just pop the pods onto the grill, cook them until they're charred then pop them open and eat the beans or, if the pods are small and tender, you can eat them too. Of courses people with favism can't do this, but a lot of people can!
