Introduction
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.

These burgers were awesome and very easy to make. My family loves garlic and I tripled the recipe...added 4 cloves of minced garlic and used Stella brand shaved Parmesan cheese. They don't stay together real well so make patties on wax paper and then chill. My 15 year old ate 3...LOL!! Great meal ~ - 10/3/12
