Instructions

2-serving instructions (4-serving modifications in red)

Wash produce before use

1

Prep the vegetables

  • Strip the chard leaves from the stems; coarsely chop the leaves and stems, keeping them separate.
  • Peel and thinly slice the shallots.
  • Finely chop, press, or grate enough garlic to measure 1½ teaspoons [3 tsp]. 
  • Coarsely chop the artichokes.

2

Cook the vegetables

In a large frying pan over medium-high heat, warm 1 to 2 tablespoons oil until hot but not smoking. Add the chard stems and shallots, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until starting to soften, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in the garlic, oregano, and as much Aleppo chile as you like, season with salt and pepper, and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in the tomato paste and cook until starting to caramelize, about 1 minute. 

Add the artichokes, tomatoes, and 1 cup [2 cups] water and bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Working in batches if needed, stir in the chard leaves, season lightly with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the chard has wilted and the liquid has thickened slightly, 4 to 6 minutes. Remove from the heat and season to taste with salt and pepper. While the vegetables are cooking, prepare the fish.

Prep and cook the fish

  • Pat the fish dry with a paper towel; season lightly with salt and pepper.

In another large frying pan over medium-high heat, warm 1 to 2 tablespoons oil until hot but not smoking.

Add the fish and cook until lightly browned on the bottom side, 1 to 2 minutes. Turn and cook until the flesh is opaque and flaky, 1 to 2 minutes.
