For the last few weeks the garden has truly bloomed...and bolted in some places. A combination of hot sunshine and lots of rain made the rhubarb chard we had planted as part of the River Cottage Seed Project bolt over the space of 2 days. A bit of searching around the internet found that we could still eat bolted chard (unlike bolted radishes, yuk!)
I used the lovely Mallika's recipe for Saag Aloo. I'm not sure if you can use the word "saag" if it is made with chard, hence why I've called it Chard Aloo. I made a very tasty curry that I will certainly be having again.

Oooh, this is good to know, because I frequently get chard from my CSA and am always looking for something new and different to do with it! And to think I started at your blog looking at SHF recipes.
ReplyDeleteooh, I think you should call it chard all whether you are allowed or not! It sounds and looks scrummy.
ReplyDeleteDon't really eat Chard very often, would make a lovely change from spinich Im sure.

Jonskifarms- thank you for visiting my blog. Glad you found a useful recipe.
ReplyDeleteHelen - lol!
Beth - I think you could replace chard in most spinach recipes. Just a shame chard isn't easy to find for sale.
Catering Equipment - thank you
Rosie - I hope your feeling better.
