Here’s a great Meatless Monday meal to help bring green to all parts of your St. Patrick’s Day. I adapted Swiss Chard fritters recipe from Real Simple and served them up with a side of Roasted Lemon Dill Carrots. Happy St. Patrick’s Day from our Irish family to yours!
Swiss Chard Patties

Directions:
- Pulse the Swiss chard, chickpeas, garlic, cumin, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon pepper in a food processor until finely chopped, scraping down the sides of the bowl as necessary.
- Combine the Swiss chard mixture, goat cheese, and flour in a large bowl,. Form the mixture into eight 2½-inch patties.
