1 bunch swiss chard, a generous bunch of around 18 to 24 leaves
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon garam masala
1 onion, medium to large, diced
1 tablespoon butter
125 g mushrooms, roughly chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon ground nutmeg
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon white pepper
4 tablespoons hot water
125 ml cream
100 g feta, cubed

1
Rinse the fresh chard leaves very well, trim the stalk ends, and separate the leaves from the stems/stalks on each side. Chop the stalks into pieces of about 1cm to 2cm. Roughly chop the leaves.
2
In a saucepan heat the oil, masala and onion to medium. Stir and cook for a few minutes.
3
Add chopped chard stems, butter, mushrooms, garlic, nutmeg, salt and white pepper. Continue sauteeing and stirring on medium heat until the chard stems and mushrooms are soft.
4
Add the water and chard leaves, give a good stir and put the lid on for a few minutes to steam the leaves until competely wilted.
5
Pulse using a stick blender in the saucepan, slowly adding cream, until the creamed chard is the consistency you require. This is where your skill and personal preference come in! I prefer my chard to retain some chunky texture of mushroom and chard stems in a creamy green base.
6
Finally stir in the feta cubes and allow them to slightly melt in the warm vegetables.
