I have done a variation on a Jamie Oliver spinach and filo tart recipe here: http://cookingjamie.blogspot.ca/2011/09/4-hour-quiche.html<br />Each time I make it I try different cheeses or greens. Today I'm making it with half beet greens & half rainbow chard, some feta, some ricotta, and some parmesan! luckiest1https://www.blogger.com/profile/00520734768294027624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21318605.post-58445336083325345542012-07-25T01:46:20.818-05:002012-07-25T01:46:20.818-05:00I planted Swiss chard for the first time and I did...I planted Swiss chard for the first time and I didn't know what to expect.I also planted collard greens and some turnip greens.I picked them and washed them and I started the collards first then I added the turnips and Swiss chard greens to the pot and the smell alone was something else.I cooked the fat meat until it was very soft before I added the greens and what a treat.I also made some hot water corn bread to go along with the greens and I cut up some of my garden fresh tomatoes and the rest is history.I am going to plant more Swiss chard because they taste really good mixed with the other greens.Greens4lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14773893006629423657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21318605.post-87568760241998112702012-05-23T15:09:09.497-05:002012-05-23T15:09:09.497-05:00Hi Susan!

I am really impressed! The dip is REALLY delicious. I have a lot of rainbow chard in my garden that had overwintered and is now doing gangbusters. Thanks so much, Susan, for a really delicious use for my chard. Oh, and by the way, I tried to use only the paler stems and I had no problem with the color of the dip.Staceyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09188885230711052494noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21318605.post-41707297817171342102012-05-15T04:00:42.977-05:002012-05-15T04:00:42.977-05:00This sounds delicious.

It probably gives an extra zing to that dip.<br /><br />My mom used to make "rollups" with Swiss Chard. You make a mixture of shredded cooked meat/chicken, sauteed onions and garlic, some oregano, some cottage cheese and some grated Parm/Romano. Then you spread out the chard leaves (stalks cut off -- I throw them in soup) -- in this case the bigger the better, put a good bit of filling on it and roll it up like a cigar. Then put the rollups in a baking dish, add enough broth to come at least halfway up the rolls, and top with more grated parm/romano, cover with foil, and bake for about half an hour at 350F. Uncover toward the end to let the cheese topping crisp up a bit. It really only needs to tenderize the chard and heat up the filling. <br /><br />She got this recipe from one of the Sebastiani wives "way back when," and it was in a regular rotation at our house. We do like our greens. ;) I think she usually served it with Garlic Butter Rice (just plain rice with garlic butter and some parsley stirred in before serving) and garlic bread. We love our garlic, too. My aunt preferred it with a tomato sauce and a lot of cheese on top. However you do it, it's a good, easy recipe and most folks like it.More Cowbellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06926142793239243190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21318605.post-53338611074561972272012-04-21T08:59:25.048-05:002012-04-21T08:59:25.048-05:00As long as they look okay, both the older leaves a...As long as they look okay, both the older leaves and the new growth should be fine to eat. :)Farmgirl Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04851855517852917202noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21318605.post-73513596634443795312012-04-21T05:34:37.427-05:002012-04-21T05:34:37.427-05:00I live in Northern Ohio, and my swiss chard contin...I live in Northern Ohio, and my swiss chard continued to grow after harvest last Fall.

Since there was so much left, I used it again last night for a pasta sauce. After I sauteed some pancetta, I added some of the dip to the pan and mixed in some pasta water to "loosen" it up a bit.

We've been wondering what to do with them in terms of eating them, and there are lots of wonderful suggestions here. <br /><br />Beyond it all, the plants are just plain pretty to look at, especially the red stalks and veins through the leaves.Solameaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09869424956571944997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21318605.post-75708233660755652832011-09-07T21:55:04.682-05:002011-09-07T21:55:04.682-05:00I made this dip today, and it is YUMMY!!!
