Creamed Swiss Chard

Another quick and easy side dish that Katie and her dad really enjoy. And it's something for which Amanda will not turn up her nose - a win in my book! Sauté some chopped onions in olive oil. Sprinkle some salt in, and when nicely browned, add a few pats of butter, brown the butter and then add a few teaspoons of flour. Then cook the flour into a roux and then add some 1% milk, about 1/2 cup or so. Meanwhile, I've boiled some chard, cooked until tender and then set the chard in a colander with some ice cubes. Once cool (or kinda cool), hubby helped by squeezing out the excess water. Then I chopped the chard. Add the chard to the onion mixture, sprinkle a little nutmeg, add salt and pepper to taste, and voilà, a lighter but richly flavored creamed veggie dish.
