Chard wins the beauty contest in the produce department. And it's easy to cook. Red Swiss Chard and Rainbow Chard will remind you of how miraculous and beautiful life is. I simply steam sauté this beautiful vegetable. I find it a tiny bland, so I dress it with either Wasabi Mustard or a Flavored Balsamic Vinegar (do yourself a favor and check these out). It keeps well and makes a great, fast, green snack. The delicious toppings turn it in to a solid cha-cha. Nutritional value of chard.
Ingredients:
1 bunch of chard, cleaned and chopped (with stems for us lazies)
2 to 3 cloves of Garlic, minced
2 cups of Vegetable Broth
Seasonings: preferred mustard or flavored balsamic vinegar to taste
Directions:
1. Steam Saute the garlic in about 1/2 cup of broth for 1 to 2 minutes (I use a wok, worth buying)
2. Add the chard and the rest of the broth. Stir fry for 5 to 7 minutes until soft
3. Serve with mustard or flavored vinegar, keeps well
