  • I never make swiss chard but see it in the stores. I have always wanted to try it and I think you just inspired me! :) Does this dish keep in the fridge if there are leftovers? Or do you typically eat it all at once?

    • @Julia You can definitely keep the leftovers though I think kale heats up better than chard. It actually gets eaten up pretty fast because that large bunch cooks down significantly. Thanks for stopping by!

  • This looks SO GOOD!! I love chard, but never make it "italian" (with the flavors you use here). I have some fancy parmesan from a friend's mom that I can use up in this recipe! Thanks Jess!!

  • Seriously, is there anything more satisfying than going at a wedge of parmesan with a microplane? The resulting snowy, whipser-light mound of salty-creamy goodness bestills my heart. Jess--Can you please explain what the deal is with grape seed oil? It's pretty expensive, so when/why do you use it?

    • @Jenn You should use grape seed oil for high heat cooking. I use canola / grapeseed for high heat and then keep a good olive oil around for when taste matters, like making vinaigrettes

  • Colors are nice, recipe is easy and as every one enjoys Swiss chard at home, this recipe has many advantages!
