Indian Spiced Swiss Chard Over Rice

I seem to find the most interesting recipes when people give me random vegetables that they don't like / want. My friend brought over some Swiss Chard and after some research I found some inspiration with Indian spices.



Ingredients:
1- Bunch of Swiss Chard
1 - Medium Onion
3 - Garlic Cloves chopped
1 - Tbsp of ground Ginger
2 - Large Tomatoes
1 - Tbsp of Tomato Paste
2 - Tbsp of ground Coriander
1 - Tsp of ground Cumin
1/2 - Tsp of Turmeric
1/4 - Tsp of Cayenne





Directions:
Finally chop the onion and put into large frying pan with olive oil. Cook over low- medium heat until the onions are translucent (10 - 15 minutes).



Add in the Garlic and Ginger then cook for another couple of minutes.



Add the Tomatoes and Tomato paste.


Add in the remainder of the spice, cover and cook over medium heat for 10 minutes.



While the tomato mixture is cooking, cut the Swiss Chard leaves from the steams.



Rolls the leaves tightly and cut into small pieces.



Chop the steams into 1/2 inch pieces.


Add the steams and cook for 5 minutes.



Add the leaves and cook for 3 - 5 minutes or until they start to wilt.




Serve over Basmati Rice.
