Beautiful colours with a zesty taste. Swish chard is a lovely seasonal vegetable that takes little to prepare.
I like chard for its colour; the vibrancy tempts me to buy it whenever I walk by. If I’m lucky, there’ll be a rainbow available.
Not everybody likes chard, as it can have a somewhat bitter taste. Blanching it before frying it helps remove that bitterness. Though, it still tastes like chard.
Enjoy your vibrant goodness.
