I have this beautiful Swiss chard growing and I wanted to do something with it. I've only had one recipe with Swiss chard that I was happy with, so I took note when my "Eat Voraciously" email newsletter from the Washington Post arrived and explained why some people are not so thrilled with Swiss chard. The writer, Julia Turshen, says this about it:
I find chard needs a little more support to shine. It needs some spices or more aromatics than just garlic. It needs acid, such as lemon or vinegar. It doesnt need meat, but something a little salty and smoky, such as bacon, certainly doesnt hurt. It needs a recipe like todays, from Stephanie Witt Sedgwick: Quick-Braised Swiss Chard, White Beans and Chorizo.
I'd never thought about this, but it makes sense, so I'm going to try the recipe tonight. Pic from the Post.

Tuna steak marinated in Teriyaki sauce and sprinkled with sesame seeds then seared on the grill so its black and blue. Soy sauce, pickled ginger and wasabi on the side.
Cucumber salad with slices of yellow and red peppers topped with ginger dressing.
Orange slices for dessert.
NJCher, your observation, and Ms.Turshens, about Swiss chard articulates why Ive never quite gotten into it. Time for another try, I guess!

House Margarita
The wrap was pretty good. When I order it next time, I will ask for the BBQ sauce on the side. (I find most BBQ sauces too sweet, and tend to gravitate toward mustard-based or vinegar-based sauces.)
