This is a quick to make dish where the capers and wine play with the earthy sweetness of the chard. This recipe works fine with green and gold chard, but red chard might not work as it is earthier tasting than the others.

A variation of Sautéed Celery, this adds silky ribbons of leeks and a little white wine for depth and contrast to the crunch of the celery. Use scissors when trimming the celery leaves for ease. You have to use good butter for this dish as that is really all there is for the sauce.

This is the basic method for sautéing mustard greens. You can add to it as you will. Blanch, then sauté in aromatics flavored with some sort of fat (I tend to go with bacon, ham, or prosciutto because I love the flavor, but good olive oil works fine as a base.) Finish with a dash of acid and serve. For the acid, I vary it based on what the dish is being served with. White wine, cider, red wine, or white balsamic vinegars, or lemon juice, all can come into play-just think of what the dish will be served with to aid your choice.

Most of the time celery is thought of in a supporting role, or as diet food, if it is thought of at all. Integral to so many dishes as part of a base, most would never think of celery as a dish on it’s own, but here it is. This dish has succulence, a bit of crunch, and a clean flavor. Elemental in its simplicity, it makes a great complement or foil for many dishes. High quality butter for this is important as it is all there is to flavor the dish besides the celery. The butter thickens to form a light sauce coating the celery batons.
