Chard and Chèvre Pizza
Vegetarian Times Issue: March 1, 2008 p.86
Swiss chard makes a great two-in-one pizza topping with its crunchy stems and tender spinach-like leaves. If you’re not a goat cheese fan, try the recipe with shredded fresh mozzarella.
Directions
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Chop chard stems into 3/4-inch pieces. Chop chard leaves into 3/4-inch-wide strips. Set aside.
- Heat oil in large skillet over medium-high heat. Add tomatoes, mushrooms, onion, and chard stems. Cook 10 minutes, or until vegetables are tender and tomatoes are soft, stirring occasionally. Add garlic, chili powder, and chard leaves. Season with salt and pepper. Cover, reduce heat to medium-low, and cook 2 minutes, or until chard is wilted.
- Meanwhile, coat baking sheet with cooking spray. Press pizza dough into 15- x 10-inch rectangle on baking sheet. Bake 10 minutes. Top crust with warm tomato-chard mixture, and sprinkle with goat cheese. Bake 15 to 17 minutes more, or until crust is browned and goat cheese is melted.

I had never eaten chard before, but it's now one of my favourite leafy greens. And as I type, I've have slice of this delicious pizza in front of me, served with a green side salad. It's truly better than anything for which I could have order out! Thanks, VT!
