Steamed Chard With Candied Ginger

Mon, 26 Jun 2006 19:01:50 -0400

I forget where on the web I found this recipe, probably at a CSA farm website, but it stated the recipe was adapted from Vegetables from Amaranth to Zucchini, by Elizabeth Schneider. I forgot the zest and I used crystallized ginger, which I assume is essentially the same as candied ginger. The sweetness of the ginger combines well with the flavor of the greens. The seasoning amounts depend on your personal taste. -- posted by Sonata

Chard can be cooked 4 hours ahead and reheated over low heat on stove or in a microwave oven. -- posted by katie in the UP

Simple and Fresh Collard Greens

Sat, 09 Feb 2008 01:28:28 -0500

A lot of people are averse to trying dark leafy greens, believe me, I was too, as they were always described as "bitter". Now that I have had them though I love them, and only eat them like this (not fully cooked to sogginess or in soups). You get a lot of the flavor of the greens themselves and they make a great side dish to a "meat and potatoes" meal. You can substitute any mix of braising/dark leafy greens for the collards. -- posted by The Easy Vegan

Chef-Boy-I-Be Illinois' Cavatappi With Swiss Chard

Sat, 23 Feb 2008 01:32:33 -0500

I have never tried Swiss Chard, but wanted to because of it's health benefits. I looked for a recipe and couldn't find one to my liking (most just called for sauteeing). Last night I made Cooking Diva's Tuscan Chicken in Lemon-Wine Sauce (Scaloppine Al Limone) Recipe # 206632 and she suggested serving it with a side of pasta. So, I thought, why not add the chard to the pasta, along with some canellini beans and combine that with the wonderful lemon-wine sauce from her chicken. Her chicken dish, by the way, is delicious! The result, we thought, was quite tasty! -- posted by Chef-Boy-I-Be Illinois

Swiss Chard With Currants and Pine Nuts

Tue, 30 Dec 2008 19:57:18 -0500

I like this recipe - both with currants & golden raisins. Finding this in the New York Times helped me decide to go for the Misticanza di Bietole da Costa chard mix to get red, white, green & yellow chard all at once. Advance preparation: You can make this several hours before serving. Reheat gently on top of the stove if you want to serve it hot. The blanched greens will keep in a covered bowl in the refrigerator for 3 or 4 days. -- posted by Buster's friend

Garlicky (Or Not) Chard and White Beans With Caramelized Onions

Thu, 01 Jan 2009 14:16:37 -0500

Caramelized onions are rich and flavourful, then stirred with white beans, letting the flavours meld. Garlic is sauteed with chard, then it is all tossed together. If you are making a few dishes, this is a great one to add because as it sits at room temperature, the flavours come together more and more, and it tastes great warm, hot, or cold. -- posted by Laurie150
