braised swiss chard recipe

Braised Swiss Chard

When I was younger, my mother always told me, “Eat your beets!” I knew they were supposed to be “oh, soooo good for you,” but the flavor was so intense that I would end up staying at the table until I fell asleep.

A trip to the market and my childhood dilemma was over. I found Swiss chard, a suitable alternative approved by Mom, and I loved it. Packed full of nutrients, I think it tastes out of this world.
