German-Style Spinach (Or Chard)

"One of those handwritten things, which has been in my folder forever. Since we have a bumper crop of swiss chard, it is appearing regularly on the table. Not German, but I frequently add Feta Cheese when served."

  1. I really enjoyed this spinach! I made it a little differently, but I think it still turned out the same...I sauteed the bacon in a sauce pan and when it was almost done I added the garlic and onions and cooked through. I then drained the grease and added 1/2 the butter to have the flavor and then followed the recipe from there. I didn't have feta so topped with a little parmesan cheese and it was the right amount of saltiness. Was a nice addition to the chicken and pasta I was having. Made for AUS/NZ Recipe Swap #72.
     
  2. Jane this is awesome with swiss chard!!! Mike noticed the something different in the nutmeg but liked it. I was unsure about that but I will use this recipe for the remainder of the chard growing. I LOVE!!! the bacon addition. I used turkey bacon as opposed to "real" bacon and it was great. I KNOW the real stuff will be better and plan to nuys some to make again his weekend. I have not but will make this with spinach as well. Mike's mom used to do this with endive. I loved it but never knew how to do it before she passed. I bet this is how and will give it a shot. THANK YOU!!!! Made for AUS/NZ Aug 2011
     
  3. Aussie Swap 34: Comfort food at it's best! Wonderful combination of flavors!
     
  4. Quite tasty! I prepared with fresh red swiss chard and drizzled some fresh lemon juice over the finished dish. The nutmeg and lemon really highlighted the flavors of the dish. Next time, I'll make sure I have some feta cheese on hand as well!
     
  5. Very good spinach! I scaled the recipe down to half, to feed three of us and there was still quite a bit left over, but that's ok, we will eat this at lunch. Excellent flavours, very rich. We enjoyed this recipe, thanks for posting! Made for Aussie Swap :)

<p>This photo of DH and me was taken on our 50th anniversary, 12/27/08. Both DDs and 2 DGC celebrated with us. <br /><br />DH and I live about 40 miles north of Baltimore, in what WAS rural 40 years ago. We are empty-nesters. Have 2 adult daughters, 2 great SIL, and 3 grandchildren --1 is 22, and 16 year old twins. In September of 2011, we were presented with our first GREAT-grandson !&nbsp; They all live in PA. and are VERY busy people ! <br /><br />I retired from MANY facets of nursing 12 years ago, and LOVE being in charge of myself ! <br /><br />We had a 4-couple Gourmet Group for so many years, that we ran out of new things and themes. Now we meet at restaurants, to avoid trashing the kitchen as well as the budget. We started with 7 course meals! None of us can DO that anymore !! <br />We have been VERY fortunate to be able to travel more than we ever dreamed !! Have B&amp;B'd in Great Britain many times; visited Italy, Greece, France, Australia, New Zealand, Germany, Switzerland, and Iceland (in February !) We would far rather stay in B&amp;B, or self-catering apartment or dwelling, than be on a tour. Our trip in '09, was to 2 small towns in Sicily --Sant'Alfio, on the slope of Mount Etna, in a 15th century, converted winery --and a week on the north coast near Cefalu. Very few spoke English, but everyone was helpful and we managed to communicate, and had a wonderful time ! (Photos in Gallery on website below !) We&nbsp; returned there in Sept. '11, for a 2 week vinyard tour with a small group, led by our local wine store owner - whose family is still in Sicily ! <br /><br />DH is my photographer - (and a website designer) but he insists on set-up time as well as a hot meal ! I should plan ahead for serving appeal, so he can get the best shot. <br /><br />I am now a SIX year survivor of colon cancer, as of 5/11, and four year of thyroid. Angels on my shoulder found both lesions before I even had symptoms ! I strongly encourage screening colonoscopies starting at age 50 -- that is ONE which can be totally avoided ! <br /><br /><img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/untitled.jpg border=0 alt=Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting /> <br />Was adopted by LMiller,RN <br /><br /><img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/projects/200_PACpic.jpg border=0 alt=Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket /> <br />Was adopted by RecipeReader <br /><br /><img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/projects/pacbanner.jpg border=0 alt=Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket /> <br />Adopted ElaineAnn <br /><br /><img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/Adopted1smp.jpg border=0 alt=Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket /> <br />Was adopted by ANG11002 <br /><br /><img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/smPACp.jpg border=0 alt=Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket /> <br />Adopted *Pixie* <br /><br /><img src=http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r271/copperhorse58/Zaar%20Food%20Photos/Food%20Photos%202008/herbspicesticker.jpg border=0 alt=Photobucket /> <br />Partner - PaulaG <br /><br /><img src=http://www.satsleuth.com/cooking/Swap14.JPG alt= /> l <br />Teamed with PaulaG, CarolAT, and Sonya01 <br /><br /><img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/PAC08Main.jpg border=0 alt=Photobucket /> <br />Adopted Kathy!!, DuChick, and Maito <br /><br /><img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/adoptedspring08.jpg border=0 alt=Photobucket /> <br />Adopted by Shirl(J) <br /><br />Australia/NZ Swap # 16 <br /><img src=http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c105/jewelies/Hebe-1.jpg alt= /> <br />Partners -Kumquat the Cat's Friend, Red Chef Mama, and Twissis <br /><br />Australia/NZ Swap #17 <br /><img src=http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c105/jewelies/boronia.jpg alt= /> <br />Teammates - Chickee, Whatcha Cookin' Mom, and MarthaStewartWanabe <br /><br />Australia/NZ Swap #18 <br /><img src=http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c105/jewelies/BottleBrush.jpg alt= /> <br />Teammates - Jewelies, djmastermum, and mummamills <br /><br />Australia/NZ Swap #19 with joey <br /><img src=http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c105/jewelies/quokka2-1.jpg alt= /> <br />Teammates- Elmotoo, Heydarl, Baby Kato <br />adopted Joey - Madilayn <br /><br />Australia/NZ Swap #20, Sept/08 <br /><img src=http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c105/jewelies/FringeLily.jpg alt= /> <br />Teammates -I'm Pat, Porfavorcorona, pollyw <br /><br /><img src=http://i270.photobucket.com/albums/jj81/HokiesLady65/UsedBooksBanner2.jpg alt= /> <br />Partner - Connie C. <br /><br /><img src=http://i195.photobucket.com/albums/z205/jubespage/AussieRecipeSwap.gif alt= /> <br /><br />Australia/NZ Swap #21 <br /><img src=http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c105/jewelies/Dryandra-1-1.jpg alt= /> <br />Teammates - Jewelies, Baby Kato, Lavender Lynn <br /><br /><img src=http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c105/jewelies/Cooking-Kangaroo-1-1.jpg alt= /> <br /><br /><a href=http://s270.photobucket.com/albums/jj117/tommysmom_photos/?action=view?t=shoeboxswap.jpg target=_blank><img src=http://i270.photobucket.com/albums/jj117/tommysmom_photos/shoeboxswap.jpg border=0 alt=Photobucket /></a> <br />Partner - SrtaMastra <br /><img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/IWasAdoptedfall08.jpg border=0 alt=Photobucket /> <br />Adopted by Slatts <br /><img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/PACfall08partic.jpg border=0 alt=Photobucket /> <br />Adopted ChamoritaMomma and tonyp063 <br /><br />Australia/NZ Swap #22 <br /><img src=http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c105/jewelies/Erica-1-1.jpg alt= /> <br />Teammates- Sarah_Jayne, busyozmum, mummamills <br />2 phutukawas and a pukeko in a ponga tree! <br /><img src=http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c105/jewelies/Pohutukawa-2-1.jpg alt= /> <br />Teammates - Dotty2 and Sheynath <br /><br /><img src=http://i195.photobucket.com/albums/z205/jubespage/2008AussieNZChristmasCardExchange.gif alt= /> <br />Sent to Sonya01, received from Sarah !.
