Chard Recipes

I give credit to JENNLOVE for inspiring this recipe with her Crustless Spinach, Onion and Feta Quiche recipe. I love to wander through the farmer's market, pick out the seasonal fresh vegetables, and figure out later what to do with them. This is how this dish came to be. Because of the skim milk and reduced amount of eggs, it is more similar in texture to a frittata than a true French quiche, which is richer and creamier. But it is still very good and makes a good dish for dinner or a nice Sunday brunch. My son (Mr. I-Hate-Quiche) loved this and gobbled down two slices.

As a participant of a summer CSA (community supported agriculture program), we get varied produce every week. This week was Swiss chard, zucchini and tomatoes. I have alwasy wanted to try making lasagna with zucchini noodles rather than pasta. I figured this was my chance.

This may sound like an odd flavor combination in a traditional Mexican dish, but it is super yummy and super good for you. For a video demonstration of this recipe as well as other great recipes, "like" Colleen's Kitchen on Facebook!

Jim Beard's Syrian lentil soup - vegetarian

Swiss Chard grows from August thru the fall until the first hard frost. It is early November, and we still have Swiss Chard growing in our organic garden. We cut the leaves leaving most of the plant, and it grows back, over and over. We steam the leaves, freeze and put aside for winter long enjoyment. It is found at your local farmers' market and makes a great substitute for spinach leaves in many recipes. We use all organic ingredients in our swiss chard burgers.

I found this recipe on Vegetarian Times.
I ended up adding a few items to this dish to make it my own.

Adapted from Lidia. This recipe is excellent for potassium and magnesium. Also, make it ahead and reheat. No salt added.

Good for you chard, chopped and eaten raw with mushrooms and red peppers, dressed in an asian vinaigrette

This dish is cheap, very low in calories, very rich in nutrients, and quite hearty, you can replace all or part of the chard for beets leaves and stems; and dont forget to save the chard stems for prepare Pejerreyes falsos another day.

Tasty sauteed mushrooms and chard with a touch of ginger and pineapple

A good way to spice up fresh-from-the-garden Swiss Chard! I serve it with broiled marinated tofu slices.

Satisfying lunch or side dish. Make a small pot of quinoa and recipe of Walnut/Garlic/Tamari sauce early in the week, then just cook the chard for a fast meal.

Quick and simple, full of nutrients, and a satisfying comfort meal.

A delicious entree salad. Free of most allergens (gluten, soy, dairy). Double up on beans &/or add almonds, and skip the chicken for a vegetarian salad.

Made a version of palak paneer with the ingredients we had at the house.

Tasty and good for you!
