Spatula Diaries: Swiss chard–easy in the garden and kitchen

“Our crop of Swiss chard has been coming in full force these last couple of weeks, and it’s been fun putting the tasty green to use,” writes Maggie Heyn Richardson, 225 food blogger. “On Sunday morning, it made it into omelets with feta, tomatoes and mushrooms, and later that night, into vegetable lasagna. It’s also one of my favorite pizza ingredients, especially when paired with salty ham or prosciutto and fresh mozzarella. Packed with vitamins, Swiss chard has a mild and nutty flavor and remains toothy when cooked. Best of all, its scarlet stalks bring added beauty to a dish.” Find out how you can grow and harvest this tasty veggie in this week’s Spatula Diaries.
