Re: Swiss chard
Hi Charlotte,
Swiss chard can be prepared in the same way as spinach, either steamed,
sauteed, or added to cooked dishes such as quiche or lasagna. It's not
really good raw unless you get the teeniest baby leaves.
I adore the stuff, even more than spinach. My favorite way to prepare
it is to heat some olive oil and butter in a deep pot, throw in some
minced garlic for a minute or two, then throw in a huge bunch of chard,
which has been coarsely chopped, stems and all. Stir to coat with oil,
then cover. Stir once in a while, until it has cooked down. Then toss
with pasta and fresh grated parmesan. Yum!
Good luck,
Kitt
