GARLICKY SWISS CHARD
There's really no secret to making excellent sautéed greens: just good olive oil, salt, loads of garlic and a jolt of red pepper flakes. This method works with pretty much any green too - broccoli, broccoli rabe, kale, spinach, collards, brussels sprouts or green beans - so you've really no excuse not to get your daily dose of vegetables. Serve it as a side to any roasted or grilled meat, or over a mound of creamy polenta that's been crowned with a fried egg.

SAUSAGE WITH CHARD AND RHUBARB
This quick sausage dish is perfect for spring. The dark green chard adds freshness, while the rhubarb lends a citrus-like sour note that cuts through the richness of the sausages. If you don't have any mustard seeds on hand, leave them out. While they do add a pleasant heat and gentle crunch, you won't miss them if you didn't know they were supposed to be there. Use any kind of sausage you like here: pork, duck, lamb or turkey all work well with the rhubarb and greens.
