Steamed Chard With Candied Ginger
"I forget where on the web I found this recipe, probably at a CSA farm website, but it stated the recipe was adapted from Vegetables from Amaranth to Zucchini, by Elizabeth Schneider. I forgot the zest and I used crystallized ginger, which I assume is essentially the same as candied ginger. The sweetness of the ginger combines well with the flavor of the greens. The seasoning amounts depend on your personal taste."

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
After a spending my childhood subsisting on a handful of favorite foods, I became a more adventurous eater in my teens and now enjoy trying new foods. It took a little longer for me to get up my nerve to expand my cooking repertoire beyond the basics, but I'm enjoying branching out, especially now with inspiration from the Recipezaar chefs. One of my goals is to reduce the amount of processed food my family eats, so I'm making an effort to cook more from scratch and use local, seasonal fruits and vegetables.
