Signed up to have a local "Fresh Farm Box" delivered every week. Yeah its, expensive...probably about 1/3 more than going to the grocery store, but these days I find I rarely have the time to make a quick stop at the supermarket on my way home from work...
In this weeks box there was a bunch of Red Chard... what the fuck is red chard and how do I prepare it? Salad? Saute? feed it to the dag? |
Swiss Chard. 
Rinse and drain it, coarsely chop it (leaves and stalks) and set aside. Cook a couple pieces of bacon and crumble; set aside. Reserve about 1-2T of the fat. Saute a couple cloves of garlic (or to taste) lightly. Add the chard. Toss over medium heat until it's just wilting. Dress with lemon juice or a vinaigrette and the bacon bits. Trust me. |
