Swiss Chard Torta
This layered casserole is a wonderful source of phytoestrogens and antioxidants.
1 tablespoon lemon juice
¼ cup water
12 leaves Swiss chard
3 medium potatoes, thinly sliced
2 large eggs, beaten
8 ounces nonfat soy sausage, cooked and crumbled
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
1. Place lemon juice and water in a microwave safe dish with a lid. Add the Swiss chard and steam, covered, in the microwave oven on high for 3 minutes or until the chard wilts.
2. Coat the potatoes with the beaten eggs. Layer a baking dish with 1 layer of Swiss chard, followed by the potatoes and sausage. Add a sprinkle of salt and pepper.
3. Continue layering until all of the ingredients are used up. The top layer can be either sausage or potato, but not Swiss chard.
4. Bake for 30-40 minutes on 375 degrees or until the potatoes are tender.
