I always delight in the memory of being served a chard crumble .....

easy mistake as the rainbow varieties do resemble rhubarb.

Serve with Custard.

This is a French recipe. Either cook and then finely slice the chard, or finely slice and then cook the chard, drain. Let it cool.

Grate 4oz of cheese, beat four eggs. Mix the eggs, cheese and cold chard together very well. Put into a partly cooked or fully cooked pastry shell and cook for about half an hour at about 170degrees until the egg is set.

It is wonderful served warm, and it reheats very nicely. We grow chard on the allotment and have this every week. I like wholemeal pastry best.

I'm blatantly bumping this thread The chard in the garden has done really well this year. Best of all, it seems that no pests or diseases touch it I've been cooking it in a pasta sauce with ricotta and parmesan.

Does anyone have any more recipes? :A

I only have one recipe I use for chard which I got off the Abel and Cole website - spaghetti with creamy chard sauce. Hubby hates cheese in any form so I can't use parmesan or ricotta in anything.

It's here along with a couple of others.

My mum eats it like spinach, wilted. We put lemon juice and a bit of parmesan cheese on it. Yum

I make a cheese and chard quiche or chop it up small,stalks and all,and throw it into lentil dahl for a cheap and tasty meal with loads of rice.

After posting on this thread I quite fancied swiss chard for dinner tonight, only to find my one remaining plant has been ravaged. It's down to the stalks.

It seems I didn't keep a close enough eye on all three of the chickens when they went out last night. :rolleyes:

Oh yes. Slice and boil the chard in a little water for 5-6 minutes; boil a diced potato or two separately; drain both and mash together with a fork. Crush a clove of garlic into it if you like. Serve instead of "normal" mash.

We used to eat this 3-4 times a week when I was growing up, usually with grilled fish (I grew up on the Croatian coast) - and I loathe the stuff.... :eek:
