Re: Swiss chard

I have a small stand where I sell my extra veggies. Bright Lights Swiss Chard is one of the top sellers. I strip it from the stems, combine it with onions/garlic and thin slices of the tender parts of the stems. Put all in a zipper-top gallon bag and it will look pretty, taste good, and sell like hotcakes (if you are in the market). To prepare, sauté or steam until tender. Customers tell me they steam it, season, then serve as is, or sprinkle with olive oil. The tiny center leaves can be added to salad mixtures. Hope my 2 cents helps you use your chard (that is so, so, good for you).

Subject: Swiss chard

I have the "most beautiful" swiss chard called Bright Lights.  It is so colorful that next year I plan to use it as a border in my flower garden.  However,  I can't find any way to use it in cooking.  I've searched the web for recipes, but, alas........it is so bitter I just don't like it.
 
Any suggestions?
