Yum! I didn't boil the chard before either. Just sautéed it lightly.

very nice flavours, we ate ours kind of between hot and warm, very tasty! I did not boil the chard before hand, I cut out most of the stems because we didnt want it overcooked, it turned out just right. I had a couple of large mushrooms to use up so chopped them up and added them, we loved the seasonings. Thanks for posting.

Unusual, healthy and delicious! Takes getting used to the flavor but it's addictive...

This tasted really nice but I found it was better warm rather than cold. It makes a lovely side dish - thanks!

Yummy!!! We love swiss chard and other types of greens stir fried in olive oil (which I did here), but this is our favorite! Amazing combo of flavors. I added 4 cloves of garlic, and after it was cooked, the juice from 1.5 lemons (we like a lot of lemon!) and some fresh Italian parsley. This is an impressive side dish!
