Swiss Chard Stalks

Store unwashed in a plastic bag in the crisper drawer. For longer storage, blanch and freeze.

Chop finely and sauté with onions and garlic as an aromatic base for soups and stews.

Steam or boil until tender-crisp, then toss with your favorite dressing or a squeeze of lemon.

Add them to stir-fries for added crunch and color.

Roast them alongside other root vegetables for a sweet, caramelized flavor.

Discarding them! Swiss chard stalks are edible and delicious.

Cooking them for too long, which can make them mushy.

Not chopping them small enough for quicker, more even cooking.
