Ingredients You Need for Indian Cashew Swiss Chard [Vegan]
How to Prepare Indian Cashew Swiss Chard [Vegan]
- Heat a large cast iron skillet over medium-high.
- Add cumin seeds and toast, stirring, until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
- Add canola oil and 1 tablespoon vegan butter to the skillet and bring to sizzling. (The combination of oil and vegan butter approximates ghee, an Indian cooking fat which is not vegan.)
- Add onions and a good pinch of sea salt and saute, stirring frequently, until softened, about 3 minutes.
- Add garlic, and continue sauteing and stirring for about a minute.
- Add one-third to one-fourth of chopped greens, sprinkle with a pinch of sea salt, and saute until cooked down a little, but still bright green, about a minute or two.
- Add remaining tablespoon of butter, stir until melted, and continue adding greens and salt until all greens have been incorporated.
- Add ground cumin, garam marsala, Amchur powder or lemon zest, cardamom, and turmeric, stirring until combined.
- Stir in 1/3 cup water and cook, stirring frequently, until water is absorbed.
- Continue adding water until 1 2/3 to 2 cups have been added and absorbed.
- Meanwhile, process cashews and 1 cup water until a very smooth paste forms. Scrape into spinach in skillet, and cook until heated through.
- Check for salt and adjust if necessary. Thin with water as desired.
- Serve over tempeh or Basmati rice, or topped with some roasted vegetables, potatoes, or chick peas--whatever sounds tasty.

I tried this tonight over roasted veggies. It was wonderful. My husband loved it to. The only thing is, it took a long time to prepare. Now that I have done it once, I can see what to do ahead of time (prepping the chard, garam masala, chopping, roasting the cashews, etc..).
