Steps:
- Bring a very large pot of water to a boil and add 1 tablespoon of salt. If the stems of the chard are tough, remove them entirely from the leaves and discard. (If the stems are tender, simply cut the stems off at the base of the leaves and discard.) Wash the leaves thoroughly. Immerse the chard in the boiling water and cook for 3 minutes exactly from the moment you get all the leaves in the pot. Drain immediately but don¿t squeeze out the liquid.
- Warm 3 tablespoons of olive oil in a large (12-inch) saute pan. Add the sliced garlic and cook over medium heat for 30 seconds. Add the chard, sprinkle with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper, and saute for 3 minutes, tossing frequently with tongs.
- Meanwhile, toast or grill 8 slices of bread. When they're nicely browned, rub one side of each slice of bread with a cut side of the halved garlic. Place 2 slices of toasted bread on each plate, garlic side up, and use tongs to distribute the chard onto the toasts. Sprinkle each serving with lemon zest, a squeeze of lemon juice, grated Parmesan cheese, and some fleur de sel. Drizzle the bruschetta with olive oil and serve warm. The liquid from the greens will be absorbed into the bread.

ROASTED SWISS CHARD WITH FETA
This method of cooking chard was given to me (in very few words) from an organic farmer who was selling the first chard we ever bought. We tried it and could not believe how delicious this was. Delicious! Double this recipe if you are a large family of veggie eaters.

Steps:
- Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a baking sheet with olive oil.
- Toss the chard stems and onions in a bowl with 1 tablespoon olive oil. Season with salt and pepper to taste, and spread onto the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake in the preheated oven until the chard stems have softened and the onion is starting to brown on the corners, about 15 minutes. Toss the chard leaves with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Sprinkle the leaves over the stem mixture, then scatter the feta cheese over top.
- Return to the oven, and bake until the stems are tender, the leaves are beginning to crisp, and the feta is melted and golden, about 20 minutes.

Tips:
- To prepare Swiss chard, remove the tough stems and chop the leaves into small pieces. You can also use baby Swiss chard, which has more tender leaves and stems.
- Use a large skillet or wok to sauté the Swiss chard. This will help to prevent the leaves from overcrowding and becoming soggy.
- Heat the oil or butter over medium-high heat before adding the Swiss chard. This will help to sear the leaves and prevent them from sticking to the pan.
- Season the Swiss chard with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. You can also add other herbs and spices, such as red pepper flakes, oregano, or basil.
- Sauté the Swiss chard for 3-5 minutes, or until the leaves are wilted and tender. Do not overcook the Swiss chard, or it will become mushy.
- Serve the sautéed Swiss chard immediately, topped with Parmesan cheese and a squeeze of lemon juice.
Conclusion:
Sautéed Swiss chard is a quick and easy side dish that is packed with flavor and nutrients. It is a great way to use up fresh Swiss chard from your garden or local farmers market. Serve it as a side dish with grilled chicken, fish, or pasta, or use it as a filling for omelets, quesadillas, or tacos.
