Swiss chard is a delicious easy to grow green that is super beautiful to boot - the stalks can be pearly white, brilliant red or even vivid yellow. This is a fast & tasty way to prepare the swiss chard cranking out in the garden. I can make a mea of it with a couple of poached eggs & a little grated Parmesan/Romano cheese. Received from D_M on gourmet-recipes-from-around-the-world; thanks D_M!
