We’ve been getting a lot of questions about what to do with the Swiss chard. Great questions!
The two most popular (and best uses) for Swiss chard are:
- Chop it up and add it into a stew
- Sautee it with onions, olive oil, some garlic, and butter
Here’s a quick recipe for the second one:
- Heat the olive oil in a pan.
- Add the garlic and onions and saute for about 5 minutes.
- Add the Swiss chard and saute until it starts to wilt.
- Season with salt, pepper, and butter.

I have been seeing a lot of chard plants in the nursery. I thought it was a fall/winter plant. Will it grow during the summers in Houston?
Tried out the sauteed swiss chard and it was delicious! Thanks for the great idea!
I sautéed mine and chopped it up finely and mixed it with a ricotta mixture and stuffed homemade ravioli. I used the beautiful local eggs to make the pasta. It was the best ravioli I have ever made!
