Ingredients

8 C Green chard, washed and coarsely chopped

Creamy Cashew Sauce:
3 Tbs Olive oil
4-5 Tbs Whole wheat flour
1-2 C hot Water
2 Tbs Cashew butter (available at most Health Food stores)
1-2 Tbs Tamari
Freshly ground black Pepper to taste
Salad Turnips for garnish

Instructions

Place chopped chard in a steamer over boiling water and steam, covered, until tender, just a few minutes at most. Serve with Creamy Cashew Sauce
Cashew Sauce:
In a heavy saucepan, heat the olive oil and slowly add flour, stirring to make a paste, or roux. Cook for a few minutes over low heat to toast the flour and give a nuttier flavor to the sauce. Gradually add hot water, whisking constantly. (Amounts of water needed will vary. The end result should be a thick, creamy sauce). Stir in the cashew butter, tamari, and pepper to taste. Mix thoroughly, and pour over the chard. Shred salad turnip and scatter on top of sauce. Serve immediately. Serves 6.
