    YOU ARE FANTASTIC!! Not only are we starting our very first organic garden but I am finally (at the age of 55) liking cooking! You have taught myself and the family how to cook fantastic dishes with our new garden fair! We cannot wait to try our Swiss Chard for the first time! Thank You so much for enriching our lives and our health! Muah!

    Swiss chard is a great vegetable. Kind of like spinach - but without the "bite".
    Additionally Swiss chard is a pretty plant and is super easy to grow if you have a place to grow it. Here in Tennessee I put Swiss Chard seeds out last March. If you harvest outer leaves - it will keep putting out leaves from the middle. I had Swiss Chard until after the first hard frost in November. Gave bunches of it away, too.

    I just ate Swiss chard for the first time today. I had the red stalked one. Your video was helpful in showing me how to prepare and cook it. I sautéed some onions and even put chopped up cooked bacon, seasoning. It turned out so very yummy. I think I'm going be eating chard a lot more often.
    I'm adding more greens to my diet for health reasons. I'm actually doing the AIP. Autoimmune protocol to help with my autoimmune disorder and eating more vegetables and greens is part of it.
    Thanks for your great demonstration. I have subscribed.

    I love your info…..about cooking greens. I grow greens in winter here…..in planters against my South Wall(winter sun). Thks for encouragement about this. I’ve had great luck with spinach, arugula, kale and collards….on that South wall. Last winter we had 2 days of 9 degrees. Very rare and weird in our Atlanta area. So I have learned to cover my pots/plants with 2 layers of plastic shower curtains…..and a blanket….overnight when very very cold. I love growing my own veggies! Thanks Dani!

    My favorite Swiss Chard dish: Saute thin sliced onion and sliced chard stems until just tender in 2 tbsp. olve oil. Add fresh finely chopped garlic (I use 2 cloves per bunch of chard,) a pinch of red pepper flakes, salt and pepper,, and saute for a minute or two until the garlic fragrance is evident. Don't burn the garlic. Add the sliced green leafy part of chard and begin to wilt it. Add a drained can of cannelini beans and heat tossing the greens, stems,, onion, garlic, seasoning until warmed through. Greens are now wilted but not mushy. Finish with a small splash of wine vinegar or balsamic vinegar.
    You can cook this dish with olive oil if you want to be healthy or fry up some bacon and use a little of the bacon grease if you want to be delighted. Then you can use the bacon bits as garnish. It's up to you.

    CH-ard (not shard) is in the beet family. It is not a cruciferous plant. (Seed look exactly like beet seeds.) Loved what you did with the stems!

  • @carolinaferrin7035
    @carolinaferrin7035 7 років тому

    I pick chard from my garden tonight and made the stems like you suggested. My hubby's words, "I was worried that these would be tough. They are just right and very tasty!' I topped the chard leaf recipe I used with the stems and he ate it all! Thanks for the 101 lesson too, it took time to de-vein the leaves, but oh so worth it!!

    What a great presentation!....I was brought up on Swiss Chard and my mother would just about
    cook it this very same way. AND, if your a diabetic, this is the dish for you. I've always loved it!
    and, if you've never ever had this dish, then that's sad, sad, sad indeed!.

    You might want to try cooking in cast iron. I once used the nonstick pans but they get scratched so easily and I wasn't interested in eating the coating due to it's links with cancer. Now that I cook in cast iron I don't want to use anything else. I think I want to plant some chard in my garden this year. I hear it grows great here in south GA.

    • @1myourhuckleberry
      @1myourhuckleberry 5 років тому

      I agree. Cast iron is awesome, but don't cook anything acidic in it. It's bad for the pan.

    Growing some in an AeroGarden right now in the middle of winter as an experiment. Grows really fast hydroponically. I'm not getting huge leaves like that, but as soon as I transplant it outside, the deer will come after it.

    Thanks Dani you inspired me to go pick the Ruby chard I've got growing. It's just beautiful too look at but I had no idea it was considered a cruciferous vegetable or how to prepare it. Also my Mom has COPD so I'll be swapping it out for spinach in the coming dinners since now I know it has benefits to the respiratory system. Great vid.

  • @mhlewis42

    I've only ever used Swiss Chard as a lettuce replacement in salads. I'm going to cook up the stems and add the leaves like you did for a nice side dish. I just watched your Collard Greens 101. Apparently I'm 8 years late... good work! I look forward to watching more of your 101 series.

  • @petebrandon8160
    @petebrandon8160 4 роки тому

    Hi! Thank you for your video- it gave some great new ideas for cooking chard! The only omission is that the stems are crunchy and succulent, and are great just eaten raw - like celery - and use to scoop up dips- like hummus or a cheese dip!

    Tiny holes are allowed, it means that the bugs liked them and that they have not been sprayed with insecticides. I grow my own and when i pick my Swiss chard i pick all that i see, some with holes and some without it all tastes the same.

    an excellent source of vitamins K, A, and C, as well as a good source of magnesium, potassium, iron, and dietary fiber.

    Umm, Swiss Chard is not part of the Cruciferous family. It is part of the Beet family. If you look at it's Latin name, The first two words are Beta Vulgaris, which is the same as for beets. This is why it has that earthy taste just like beet greens have.
