Recipe of the Week

Rainbow Chard



Swiss Chard is a vegetable that is a member of the beet family.  It brings to mind the flavors of beets and spinach.  I came up with my own way of cooking this veggie, after many trial and error episodes.  When Scott grew a garden with his sixth grade students in Blowing Rock, he grew this beautiful vegetable.  We learned to like it and now we love it.

Anna's Rainbow Chard

3 Tbs of olive oil
2 cloves of garlic minced
2 Tbs of lemon juice
2 Tbs of Tamari (soy sauce)
one bunch of Rainbow Chard cleaned and chopped
a dash or two of all purpose seasoning
a dash of salt & pepper

*Clean the Chard thoroughly.  Chop entire vegetable; stems and leaves.  Place in wok or other large skillet, uncovered.  Add minced garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, Tamari, and seasoning.  Stir gently with utensil.  Cook on medium heat for 5 to 8 minutes, stirring gently and constantly.  Serve with rice, baked potato, or other veggies.
