 Chard One of our fresh vegetables at market now is chard. Chard is best prepared by separating the tender leaves from the crunchy stems, sautéing the stems first, then wilting the leaves in olive oil with garlic and lemon. Tasty on its own this way but also highly versatile in soups, pastas, or with other ingredients as a side dish. Common methods include pan-searing, steaming, or using it in hearty dishes like gratins or with beans. Our recipe this week is for simply sautéed.
Remember, the market is now offering hot coffee made from locally roasted coffee beans. ☕️ You can find it next to the Goatboy Soaps. Things of note at the market this week.
