Directions

The Moroccan Chard Leaves is one of my favorite side dishes. Every time I cook this green dish, I’m surprised by all the flavors blasting in my mouth. This is exactly what I love about the Mediterranean kitchen and especially the Moroccan kitchen.

The swiss chard is really an underrated superfood. It is powerhouse full of vitamins A, C, and K. The swiss chard is also a good source of dietary fibers, potassium, and magnesium. When adding the spices I can really taste the Mediterranean flavors with every bite.

I really love this dish and I think you can enjoy it too. It’s perfect as a side dish for lunch or even on a vegetarian dinner. If that is not enough, the Moroccan Chard Leaves are super easy to make. All it takes is 5 min of work and another 15 min- 1 hour of cooking (depending on your preference) and it’s ready.
