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!
