You can make this with chard, spinach, pac choi or any other green leaves. Serves 4.
Ingredients
Large bunch of chard
Olive oil
1 onion, chopped
1-2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 chilli, finely chopped
4 oz risotto rice
2 pints vegetable stock
Seasoning
Parmesan, optional
Cooking Instructions
Cut the green leafy parts off the chard and wash, save the stems for stir-frying. Cook the chard using only the water clinging to the leaves, then chop finely and retain any liquid. Sauté the onion, garlic and chilli in a little olive oil until softened, add the rice and stir. Add the stock and any leftover liquid from the chard. Simmer until the rice is almost cooked, add the cooked chard and add seasoning. Once the rice is cooked and the chard has heated through, serve with grated parmesan.

1. Preheat the oven to 190C/375F/Gas 5.
2. Heat two tablespoons of the olive oil in a wide, lidded pan and add the chopped chard ribs. Stir, then cover and cook over a low heat for four minutes, stirring occasionally.
3. Add the leaves, stir, then cover again and cook for a further five minutes, or until just tender. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper and set aside.
4. Place the olives, anchovies, sun-dried tomatoes, capers, parsley and two tablespoons of olive oil into a food processor and blend to make a smooth paste.
5. Lightly oil a 30cm/12in ovenproof dish. Place a layer of the chard, along with any cooking juices, and a layer of the cooked potatoes into the dish. Spread a little of the olive paste over the chard and potatoes and season with freshly ground black pepper. Continue to layer up the chard and potato, spreading more of the olive paste between each layer and finishing with a layer of chard.
6. Mix the gruyère and parmesan in a bowl and sprinkle over the top of the gratin. Drizzle over the remaining tablespoon of olive oil.
7. Transfer to the oven and bake for about 25-30 minutes, until the cheese is browned and bubbling. Serve hot or warm.

Ingredients
1 large bunch of fresh Swiss chard
1 small clove garlic, sliced
2 Tbsp olive oil
2 Tbsp water
Pinch of dried crushed red pepper
1 teaspoon butter
salt
Cooking Instructions
Rinse out the Swiss chard leaves thoroughly. Roughly chop into inch-wide strips. Remove the toughest third of the stalk, discard.
Heat a saucepan on a medium heat setting, add olive oil, a few small slices of garlic and the crushed red pepper. Sauté for about a minute. Add the chopped Swiss chard leaves. Cover. Check after about 5 minutes. If it looks dry, add a couple tablespoons of water. Flip the leaves over in the pan, so that what was on the bottom, is now on the top. Cover again. Check for doneness after another 5 minutes (remove a piece and taste it). Add salt to taste, and a small amount of butter. Remove the swiss chard to a serving dish.
