Description

Tender Swiss chard and waxy potatoes, simply boiled and glossed with garlicky olive oil and lemon—clean, coastal, naturally vegan. 🫒🍋

Hook: 2 pots, 20 minutes—market greens to taverna-bright side (or light meal). ⚡

Ingredients

  • 🥬 Swiss chard (leaves & stems), chopped: 600 g (about 2 bunches / 1.3 lb)
  • 🥔 Waxy potatoes, 2 cm chunks: 500 g (3½ cups / 1.1 lb)
  • 🧄 Garlic, very finely minced: 8 g (2 cloves / 0.3 oz)
  • 🫒 Extra-virgin olive oil: 45 ml (3 tbsp / 1.5 fl oz)
  • 🍋 Fresh lemon juice: 20 ml (4 tsp / 0.68 fl oz)
  • 🧂 Salt: to taste (≈9 g / 1½ tsp)
  • ⚫ Black pepper: 0.5 g (⅛ tsp / 0.02 oz)
  • 🌶️ Red pepper flakes (optional): 0.5 g (⅛ tsp / 0.02 oz)

Advice

Drain aggressively and steam-dry in the hot pot—excess water dulls the seasoning. Bloom the garlic briefly in warm oil for perfume without bitterness.

Why it works

Waxy potatoes hold shape; chard stems blanch longer than leaves for even texture; lemon and olive oil form a bright emulsion that coats every bite.

Twist

Dalmatian pantry: fold in 1 tbsp capers and 6 sliced green olives.

Make it a meal: add 240 g (1½ cups / 8.5 oz) cooked chickpeas and an extra squeeze of lemon.

Status

Sun, sea, and greens—blitva na lešo that tastes like a Dalmatian lunch. #grannyzen #dalmatianfasting 🥬🍋
