How to make rainbow chard with prawns
We start by splitting the chard, separating the leaves that we will use for another recipe and the pencas that we will cut into small pieces and that will be the ones we use for today's recipe. We cook them in a saucepan with water and a little salt for about 15 minutes.
In a wide pan or if you prefer in a wok, skip the prawns, to which we will have head removed and we will have peeled, also removing the vein or intestine giving them a superficial cut to do so.
Then, we put in the pan a good drizzle of extra virgin olive oil. If you have Sesame oil, (which you will find without difficulty in department stores or stores of Asian products), you can add a splash over the olive oil and you will see how its aroma extends that will then permeate the entire dish giving it an exotic touch.
In the oil, sauté the chard pencas with the prawns and add a handful of Sesame seeds to find a crispy dot. After a couple of minutes stirring continuously, we will have an original and colorful light dinner ready. To the table!
