The Perfect Vegetable: Easy Swiss Chard Recipe
 (photo: thanks to lebanesegarlicsauce.com for the photo of freshly picked chard) Eating Well Equals Eating Simply It's easy to assume that folks who love food eat wonderfully rich, complex, and exotic foods all the time. After all, even your Facebook friends post pics of the fanciful foods they're currently eating and the likes of Anthony Bourdain, Mike Colameco, and Guy Fieri eat luscious plates of roasted meats, glistening noodles, and fried delicacies like it's the end of the world. However, the truth of the matter is that what it means to eat well is firmly situated in the realm of eating simply. One of the best representations of eating simple food is the leafy vegetable. For me, escarole, collard greens, dandelions, and chard are ideal food sources which are satisfying and filling.  (photo: cooked chard in garlic and olive oil) For the Love of Swiss Chard Swiss chard is a particular favorite of mine given it's complex flavor and texture, not to mention its nutritional value (which according to WHFoods.com is second only to spinach). My favorite way to prepare Swiss chard is via a method I like to call the sudo boil (which is basically steaming the green with a bit of water in a large sauté pan and thereafter adding olive oil, freshly ground black pepper, and Kosher salt). You could also add a thinly sliced potatoes and increase the amount of cooking time (this is a favorite dish amongst Calabrians).
