Swiss chard ragoût



 Another recipe from our potager ... Swiss chard is versatile, but something more important is that when you harvest, a couple of weeks later, it's grown back! Abundance, my friends, so take in those vitamins and antioxidants, no calorie counting!

  • Large bunch of Swiss chard
  • 1 onion finely chopped
  • Some sliced leek or any pepper
  • A punnet of mushrooms, sliced

Allow to simmer for at leat 20/30 minutes on medium low heat, adding a little water if required and stirring from time to time. Mince the garlic and add to the
