what do you do with chard?
We got some chard in our CSA a few weeks ago. I've never cooked with chard, and was at a bit of a loss at what to do with it. One quick recipe search turned up this recipe: Creamy Swiss Chard Pasta. Overall, I really liked it. I don't know if A liked it as much.
I did make some adjustments to the recipe. I started the onion and garlic first, before adding the chard, just to make sure the onion wouldn't be crunchy. I also let things cook longer than the recipe called for because I had to wait for the pasta to cook and such. If I get more chard and make this again, I'll probably omit the milk. The sauce was very runny, and I would have liked it better if it were thickened up. Flavor was great though!
