How to Use Swiss Chard From the Garden

    • 1). Pick 12 to 20 small, or 5 to 10 large, Swiss chard leaves. Cut off the thick stems and set them aside. Rinse the leaves well and slice into 1-inch strips. Place leaves in a covered saucepan, add 1 inch of water and bring it to a boil. Let steam 3 to 4 minutes until the leaves are tender. Serve the Swiss chard as a side dish with butter or cider vinegar, or cool the leaves, drain well and use in a recipe.

    • 2). Make a Cheesy Swiss Chard Spread by mixing softened cream cheese, 1/2 envelope of dry soup mix and finely chopped water chestnuts with the cooked Swiss chard. Mix well and serve as a spread for crackers or sourdough bread. Store leftovers in the refrigerator.

    • 3). Substitute Swiss chard for the spinach in a vegetable lasagna or similar recipes.

    • 4). Chop and steam the thick Swiss chard stems to serve along with the cooked leaves. The stems may also be used in some recipes as a substitute for celery.
