Swiss chard was something we'd never bought/eaten before! I thought that maybe it was just like lettuce...but thankfully I did a little research before making us a swiss chard salad! It is a lot like kale, and is not often used in salads (and if it is - it's in small amounts with many other lettuce types). I found a recipe I thought we could try out.
Creamy Swiss Chard Pasta
1 bunch of swiss chard - chopped (cut the leafs from the stalk and then chop them up separately - the stalk (the brightly colored part) needs to cook a little longer than the leaf)
2 TBSP olive oil
2 garlic cloves minced
1/4 c. chopped onion
2 tomatoes chopped
1/2 c. sour cream
1/4 c. parmesan cheese
Fettucini noodles - cooked
Cook the swiss chard in the oil along with the garlic and onion. Add in the tomatoes, sour cream, and parmesan cheese after the chard is tender. Once well mixed, add in the cooked noodles (or serve sauce on top of the noodles) and salt and pepper to taste. Serve warm.
