Directions
Chard and Onion Omelet (Trouchia), This is a simple and delicious springtime recipe from Debora Madison’s essential cookbook, Vegetarian Cooking For Everyone The traditional trouchia is a specialty of Nice, where slices of it are sold and eaten cold on the street This is a very versatile recipe You can substitute almost any green (kale, beet greens, mustard greens) serve this warm, room temperature or cold, as an appetizer or main dish, and at any meal It even makes a great sandwich filling The trick to this recipe’s success is to cook everything slowly so that the flavors really deepen and sweeten , LOVE this recipe! I recommend it to everyone and served it at Easter for the family It was gobbled up! It is great warm, room temp or right out of the fridge I make it in the morning and let it sit on the counter to be picked at all day A favorite even if chard is not a enjoyed by the diner! Very portable once cool: you can grab a slice and go! Easy to make too especially if your pans go from stove to oven!
