I use a bit of cider or balsamic vinegar just before they are wilted and then cover for 2 minutes. I also like sauted pinenuts on sauted greens or seasame seeds are good toasted too. And raisins are yum. This place on the cape sautes spinach with fresh pepper, garlic, golden raisins and pinenuts. So. good. I also like to use a touch of maple syrup (real not the corn syrup variety, ick) to sweeten if I don't use fruit. Our CSA days are on their way in June...you are making me miss the greens. WEll, not the arugula, but everything else. xx I think Chard and Spinach need a bit of acid when cooking to bring out their flavor and get rid of the bitter.

Ourfriendben, I have to tell you...I think I ate that whole recipe in two servings, but only because I had a bunch of other food on the side. I could eat the whole pan, too. Jen, bok choy is quite tasty, but if you like it, I bet you'll like chard, too. Kalyn, you're quite welcome -- I definitely want to give your recipe a try! Wayne, that sounds like a really great recipe -- have you shared it on your blog? Curtis, oh, if you haven't tried it, I highly encourage you to do so! Nancy, I am a big fan of them, as well.

I thought about chard just yesterday and made a note to myself about looking for it at the market this weekend. Thanks for mentioning the chard stems post, I loved that way of cooking them.
