What do you do with your Swiss chard?

[tancurls]

I have a ton of chard and I just sauté with bacon which is delicious. I would love any other recipes. What do you do with your chard??

If the chard is young leaves I use them in salads.
Older greens - chard, kale, collards - I saute with garlic in olive oil until tender then serve over pasta.
I've also added the greens to spaghetti sauce and meatloaf.

Try boiling it, drain it, then mix it with mustard, honey, vinegar, and a little salt and pepper.

Or boil it until it is tender. In the meantime saute, brown, or soften (however you like it) chopped onions and garlic. Add paprika to the onions/garlic. Then add the cooked chard, a little at a time so it does not clump, and stir it. Whe it is all added and sort of dried out, it is ready.

You can also add the leaves to soup.

I just boil it in salted water, drain and serve it with a tiny bit of vingear over the top,..(same way i eat my spinach)..
But saute with bacon and onion and garlic sounds sooo much better!

I replace chard in anything I would use spinach in. I made a wonderful Chard soup recently. I also take the largest stems and chop them up and use them in my pickle relish. I've also "pickled" chard. Put chard in spagetti sauce, soups, stews, and many other dishes. One of my favorites is to take pasta, ground beef, and assorted veggies ( including the chard) and either a tomato sauce or spagetti sauce and mix it all up and bake it until warm. Sprinkle with cheese and let the cheese melt over the top.

I like to sauté it and add to scrambled eggs for breakfast.

I've sauteed it, put it in quiche and recently made a soup with it. Here's the soup recipe:
