Recipe Instructions

Selection and storage: Swiss chard is available spring through early

fall. Choose chard with crisp stalks and firm, bright green leaves.

Preparation: Wash Swiss chard thoroughly by dunking it in a sink filled

with water until it is free from any sand. Young chard can be used in

cooking as-is. With more mature chard, separate the leaves from the

stems. Handle the ribs as you would celery, trimming and peeling any

larger ribs nd strings.

1. In a frying pan, cook bacon until crisp, then drain on paper towels

and pour oil from pan.

2. Cook chard in the pan until it begins to wilt. Add garlic and cook,

stirring, for 2 minutes.

3. Place chard with bacon in a baking dish and sprinkle with Parmesan

cheese.

4. Bake in a 350º oven until the top is golden brown.
