THAI CHICKEN WITH COCONUT SWISS CHARD

June 6, 2014

I have had a field day this summer appreciating the ripe and inexpensive produce. One area I would like to improve in my meal planning is cooking seasonally. Sure, you can get raspberries year round, but you’ll spike up your grocery bill and still have some pretty bitter berries in the winter. This has brought about some pleasant experimentation with crops I’ve not worked with before. Today – swiss chard. I love the nutritional part and it’s kind of like a lesser known, cool kale, now that kale has become so popular.

    I didn’t want to waste the chard stems so I chopped them finely and added them to the rice while it cooked. I used Basmati instead of Brown rice and it looked very festive with the Bright Lights Chard stems mixed in.
