Well… no picture for this post because the family devoured dinner faster then I was expecting! I simply took a simple black beans recipe (similar this one: http://homegrowngainesville.wordpress.com/2010/09/29/savory-black-beans-with-fresh-cilantro/) and added one bunch of chopped chard. Served over rice, everyone was lining up for 2nds.
What’s wonderful about chard is it’s mellow flavor that blends well with whatever dish you add it to. Have fun with your dishes and be a little creative.
