More of that "Taste the colors..." thing

No, not me, the swiss chard you dork!


I took about a third of this, sliced it into ribbons, and added it to onions and garlic I sauteed in olive oil and butter, sprinkled in some salt and pepper, and gave it a squirt of fresh lemon juice. Was QUITE good! The remainder went to friends at work - once swiss chard starts going, it's hard to keep up with it!


A pretty boquet for you!


Oh! And the snow peas are starting to produce as well! Yum! I've eaten one in the garden, and cut these two in half to add to my salad. I bet there's more today!

I have some Chard Killing on the menu tonight, too. You're right - that stuff takes on a whole new life when it gets going.

Every night I'm trying to find new ways to eat it.

Chard ice cream?

LOL Chard Killing - that's a nice way to look at it. Your pork loin chops stuffed with chard looked really good. The pineapple was a bit surprising...but pork and pineapple DO go so really well on the grill, and I bet that sweetens up the chard some?

I'll pass on the chard ice cream, but I WAS wondering if we couldn't find some sort of bread/muffin/cornbread that didn't make incorporate shredded chard?
