Steamed chard with red potatoes and mushroom gravy

Hello everyone! This is a quick, easy meal that it is filling and tasty. The photos are not pro but I am willing to sacrifice that instead of not posting anything.


Steamed Chard with Red Potatoes and Mushroom Gravy

Servings: 2

Ingredients :

1 bunch of chard
2 red potatoes
2 garlic cloves
5 mushrooms
8 cups of veggie broth (I will post how to make this homemade. It is a cost saver.)
2 tbsp of flour
1 tbsp of butter







Directions:

1. Poor 6.5 cups of your broth in a pot and bring it to a boil (I used a pot that also has a steamer you can put on top). Boil the potatoes until they are soft. Slice the garlic, and mushrooms while the potatoes boil.

2. Once the potatoes are starting to get soft add the butter and garlic to a saute pan. Saute them for 3 minutes. Then add the sliced mushrooms and saute for 3 more minutes. During this time, start steaming your chard. You want the gravy and the chard to be ready at the same time.

3. Add the flour to the saute pan and cover all of the mushrooms with the flour.

4. Slowly start pouring the remaining broth and whisking the flour. The broth will thicken with time so you can add more broth if it is too thick or add more flour if it is too thin.
5. Take the potatoes out of the pot and place in a bowl or on a plate. Set the steamed chard next to it and cover them both in the mushroom gravy.




This is so delicious and only has 300 calories!
