My friend S dropped by one evening with some goodies from her sister's farm. There were these large bunches or rainbow chard, a jar of pickled beets and some large golden beets. I must say this made my evening. Swiss Chard is a special type of beet leaf. We rinsed and cut the chard, separating the stems from the leaves and cooked them the next day. I also steam roasted the golden beets.
Here is my chard recipe:
Rinse leaves well, separate stems from leaves, chop stems into 1/2" pieces. Roll the leaves up and cut into 3/4" pieces. Keep leaves separate.
2 bunches rainbow chard cut into 1/2" pieces
1 tbs sesame oil
2 tbs soy sauce
spring onions diced
2 cloves garlic minced
2 tbs canola oil
Saute spring onions and garlic in oil, add soy sauce, saute stems only. after a couple of minutes cover simmer approx 10 mins, add leaves, simmer covered another 10 mins.
