Quick Chard Ideas

• Alternative to stuffed cabbage: Wrap Swiss chard leaves around your favorite vegetable and grain salad and roll it up. Bake in a medium-heat oven. Toss penne pasta with olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and cooked chard.
• Add steamed chard to omelets and fritatas.
• Use chard in place of or in addition to spinach when preparing vegetarian lasagna.
• Cook some garlic in olive oil, crisp the garlic and set aside to drain. Stirfry the chopped chard in the pan with the olive oil. Start with the stems as they take longer, add the leaves a minute or two later. Put the garlic cloves back on the chard and serve. (You can do this with any green)
