Swiss Chard - What Do I Do With That?
Originally, all foods were "organic" - grown and prepared without pesticides, herbicides, chemical fertilizers, hormones, irradiation to prevent spoilage, and microwave cooking.
Our food these days, whether of vegetable or animal origin, is not only deficient in
nutrients but also full of pollutants and farm chemicals. The modern denaturing of
foods through massive refining and chemical treatment deeply affects their
EnergyRich ? qualities, making them devoid of the exact boost that we should be
getting from our food.
Here is a great recipe for the summer using some yummy, organic Swiss Chard:
Organic Swiss Chard
1 or 2 bunches Organic Swiss chard
1/8 teaspoon Brittany sea salt
2 teaspoon Organic virgin olive oil
4 lemon wedges
1 Tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
1. This recipe works for many different cooking greens like: collard greens, turnip or
beet tops, mustard greens, spinach, tat-soi, and rapini (broccoli rabe)
2. Wash chard well to remove all sand and remove all tough stems.
3. In a large saucepan, bring to a boil about 1/2 inch of water and drop in the Swiss
chard leaves.
4. Return to a boil, cover and cook 2 to 3 minutes until leaves are tender.
5. Add salt and remove from heat.
6. Drain, reserving 1/4 cup of cooking liquid.
7. Add oil to the reserved liquid and pour desired amount over the chard before
serving.
8. Serve each portion with a lemon wedge and sesame seeds.
9. Enjoy!

English Cucumber Sandwiches
Have you tried English cucumbers yet? They're a little different from the
regular garden cucumbers usually found in grocery stores and at
farmer's markets, although they look almost the same. The main
difference is English cucumbers have a thinner skin (so they're better for
slicing and they don't have to be peeled) and fewer seeds than garden
cucumbers.
