Grilled Rainbow Chard with Fava Beans and Oregano

This vibrant vegan side dish celebrates the often-overlooked rainbow chard stem, transforming it into a smoky and succulent star ingredient. By lightly blanching the stems before finishing them on a hot grill, you achieve a perfect balance of tender texture and charred depth. Combined with the earthy sweetness of broad beans and the aromatic punch of fresh oregano, this recipe is a beautiful way to utilise every part of your seasonal greens while adding a pop of colour to your dinner table.

Refreshing and nutrient-dense, this warm salad is an excellent choice for a light lunch or a sophisticated accompaniment to Mediterranean-style mains. Broad beans, also known as fava beans, offer a lovely creamy contrast to the grilled chard, while a final squeeze of lemon juice brightens the earthy flavours. It is a simple, healthy, and naturally dairy-free dish that showcases how sophisticated homemade plant-based cooking can be.
