Swiss Chard with Black Beans and Feta Cheese

Original recipe, here.

I needed to find something that used Swiss chard and this is what I came up with. It actually turned out really well. I served it over rice, with some grilled chicken (for my carnivorous husband) and some fresh cantaloupe.

Prep Time: 15 min
Cook Time: 25 min
Ready In: 40 min

Ingredients:

• 1 cup rice
  
• 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 pinch red pepper flakes
• 1 bunch Swiss chard - rinsed, stems removed and cut into 1/2 inch slices
• 1 (15.5 ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
• 1 small tomato, chopped (or 1 can diced tomatoes)
  
• salt and pepper to taste
• 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
• 3 tablespoons feta cheese

Directions:

1. Cook rice according to package directions.
   
2. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly grease an 8 or 9 inch square baking dish.
3. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and red pepper flakes; cook and stir until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add Swiss chard, cover and cook for 4 minutes. Uncover and mix in the black beans, tomato, lemon juice, salt and pepper. Cover and continue cooking until the chard is wilted, about 4 more minutes.
4. Transfer the chard to the baking dish and dot with goat cheese, pushing it down into the dish.
5. Bake for 15 minutes in the preheated oven, or until the goat cheese is warmed.
6. Serve over rice.
