Recipe Note

Chef's tip:

Chard stems are edible as are the leaves. Make cleaning easier by stripping the leaf from the stem, then washing the leaves well in water as one would lettuce. Chop as directed. For the chard stems, think "celery" by washing then chopping into smaller pieces and add to layers as added texture.
Store whole nutmeg in a small jar with lid and place in room temperature pantry. Using the fine grate side of box grater or use a microplane, grate as much as you will use at one time for optimum flavor.
