DoomsdaysCWSo, I just couldn't wait to try the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/RainbowChard" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RainbowChard</a>. I harvested a variety of colors and sauteed them with olive oil, garlic and salt and pepper, and a smidgen of lemon zest. They were delicious! Starting some more plants this week. I did lose a few due to too much rain, but most of the plants bounced back! Also harvested some baby lettuce (not shown).<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SolarPunkSunday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SolarPunkSunday</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/RainbowSwissChard" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RainbowSwissChard</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/GrowYourOwn" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GrowYourOwn</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ContainerGardening" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ContainerGardening</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/GrownYourOwnFood" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GrownYourOwnFood</a>

DoomsdaysCWOne more note about growing <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/RainbowChard" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RainbowChard</a> -- it's way easier than growing spinach or beets, and by growing it with onions or garlic in the longer containers, I keep the pests at bay!<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SolarPunkSunday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SolarPunkSunday</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Gardening" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Gardening</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/GardeningHacks" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GardeningHacks</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/GrowYourOwn" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GrowYourOwn</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/GrowYourOwnFood" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GrowYourOwnFood</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/RainbowSwissChard" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RainbowSwissChard</a>

DoomsdaysCWNot a vegan recipe, but there are suggestions for making it vegan. I haven't tried this yet, but I love Greek food, so... <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/RainbowChard" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RainbowChard</a> BowlsThese rainbow chard bowls are a delicious weeknight dinner! With 10 ingredients, they're easy to make, but they pack a punch of flavor.Ingredients 1 cup uncooked whole wheat orzo 1+ tablespoons olive oil 1 garlic clove, minced ½ teaspoon Dijon mustard A few squeezes of lemon 1 small bunch of rainbow chard (about 4-5 leaves) ⅓ cup feta cheese ¼ cup toasted walnuts Sea salt and fresh black pepperInstructions1. Prep your chard by slicing off the coarse parts of the stems and dicing them. Coarsely chop the greens and set aside.2. Cook orzo in a pot of salted boiling water according to package directions (or about 9 minutes).3. In a medium bowl add 1 tablespoon olive oil, minced garlic, dijon mustard, lemon, salt and pepper. Once your orzo is done cooking, drain it and then add it to this bowl and toss. (the heat of the pasta will gently cook the raw garlic). Taste, adjust seasonings and set aside.4. In a medium skillet, heat a few teaspoons of olive oil, then add the chard stems, salt and pepper. Next, add the chard leaves and toss until just wilted (less than 2 minutes). Finish with a squeeze of lemon and remove from heat.5. Assemble bowls with orzo, chard, feta and toasted walnuts.Notes - Make this gluten free by subbing quinoa for orzo. - Make this vegan by skipping the cheese and topping it with a few capers.Source: <a href="https://www.loveandlemons.com/rainbow-chard-bowls/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.loveandlemons.com/rainbow-chard-bowls/</a><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/RainbowSwissChard" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RainbowSwissChard</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SolarPunkSunday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SolarPunkSunday</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/VegetarianRecipes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#VegetarianRecipes</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/GrowYourOwn" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GrowYourOwn</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Recipes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Recipes</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/RainbowSwissChard" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RainbowSwissChard</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/DietForASmallPlanet" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DietForASmallPlanet</a>

I haven't tried this one yet, but it sounds delicious!One Pot Rainbow Chard Recipe with BeansJune 20, 2024 by MariaIngredients- Olive oil: For sautéing, it adds a rich, smooth base flavor. - Garlic: Garlic infuses the dish with an irresistible aroma. - Shallot: Adds a subtle sweetness and depth to the dish. - Rainbow chard: The star of the show with its colorful stems and lush leaves. If you can’t find rainbow chard, regular Swiss chard, kale, spinach, collard greens or even rapini can be great substitutes. - Salt: Essential for seasoning to taste. Sea salt or kosher salt can be used in the same quantity. - Canned white beans: I love using canned cannellini beans in this recipe. You can easily use navy beans, great northern beans, or even chickpeas. - White wine vinegar: This will brighten everything up with its fresh acidity. You can use apple cider vinegar, lemon juice, or even a splash of balsamic vinegar as a replacement. - Chili flakes and black pepper: These optional spices can elevate the overall flavor of this Italian dish. - Olive oil for drizzling: One final drizzle of extra virgin olive oil adds a touch of richness. Of course, this is optional. How to make this easy rainbow chard recipe1. Heat the oil: In a large pan or Dutch oven, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-low heat. 2. Sauté the aromatics: Add the minced garlic, stir frequently and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute. Then, add the chopped shallot and cook, stirring frequently, for 3-4 minutes until translucent. 3. Cook the chard stems: Toss in the chopped chard stems. Cook for another 3-4 minutes until they start to soften. 4. Season: Season with ⅛ teaspoon of salt, a pinch of chili flakes, and pepper to taste (if using). 5. Cook the chard leaves: Add the chopped chard leaves to the pan. Increase the heat to medium-high and cover. Cook, stirring occasionally, until wilted, about 3-5 minutes. 6. Evaporate the liquid: Remove the cover and cook until there is no longer any liquid, 4-5 minutes. 7. Add the beans: Add the drained white beans to the pan. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the beans are heated through. 8. Finish with vinegar: Stir in 1 teaspoon of white wine vinegar. 9. Taste and adjust seasonings. 10. Final touch: Remove from heat, plate and drizzle with extra virgin olive oil.Tips- Choose fresh chard: When selecting rainbow chard, look for leaves that are bright and crisp, with vibrant, colorful stems. Avoid any wilted or yellowing leaves, as they may indicate older or less fresh chard. - Blanching the leaves: Consider blanching the chard leaves for a minute or two before sautéing. This quick blanching process can help mellow out any potential bitterness in the leaves. - Cook the stems separately and first: To ensure that the rainbow chard stems are cooked to the desired tenderness, consider cooking them separately and before adding the leaves. The stems may take slightly longer to cook, so giving them a head start can help achieve a more evenly cooked dish. - Canned beans without salt: If you use canned beans without salt, there is no need to rinse them. - Recipe scalability: This one-pot sauteed chard and white bean recipe can easily be doubled to accommodate larger servings or to prepare leftovers. Simply adjust the ingredient quantities accordingly.Read more: <a href="https://www.shelovesbiscotti.com/rainbow-chard-recipe/#ingredients" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.shelovesbiscotti.com/rainbow-chard-recipe/#ingredients</a><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SolarPunkSunday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SolarPunkSunday</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/VeganRecipes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#VeganRecipes</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/GrowYourOwn" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GrowYourOwn</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Recipes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Recipes</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/RainbowSwissChard" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RainbowSwissChard</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/DietForASmallPlanet" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DietForASmallPlanet</a>
