Swiss chard is a powerhouse plant known for its seemingly magical ability to grow and propagate. Eaten raw (which we do not advise), chard has a characteristic bitterness, so you’ll want to cook the leaves before eating. Adding cream to Swiss chard is the perfect way to tease out the oxalic acids (the cause of the bitter taste) and invite a delicious creaminess to this unique and lovely dish to enjoy on its own or with your favourite protein.
