Chard with lime, tomatoes & green chilli
A simple, refreshing side to cut through the coconut-creaminess of the prawns and pumpkin. The dressing is based on ‘vinagrete’, a classic Brazilian condiment often served with grilled meats. Light and refreshing, it adds a sharp, acidic bite.

Ingredients
- 400g rainbow chard, leaves and stalks separated, stalks cut into 6cm-long pieces
- 3 tbsp olive oil, plus extra to serve
- 200g baby plum tomatoes
- ½ onion, thinly sliced
- ¼ x 25g pack coriander, leaves picked
- 2 Thai chillies, thinly sliced into rounds
- 1 tangerine, juice
- 2 limes, juice
- 1 tsp sea salt flakes
Method
Chop the chard leaves into thirds. Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large frying pan over a medium-high heat. Add the chard stalks and stir fry for 2 minutes, then add the leaves and a pinch of salt and continue to stir fry for 2-3 minutes more, until wilted but still bright green. Drain through a colander in the sink.
While the chard is draining, finely chop the tomatoes. Squeeze them with your hands or through a sieve to remove (and discard) most of the liquid, then put in a large bowl and mix with the onion, coriander, chillies, tangerine and lime juice, the remaining 2 tbsp oil and the salt. Arrange the chard on a platter and top with the tomato mixture. Serve with a drizzle of oil and a sprinkling of salt flakes.
