Rainbow Chard with Cranberries and Almonds
Description
Although many recipes call for removing the nutritious stems from chard, this recipe from the Bastyr Kitchen takes advantage of the entire chard leaf by incorporating stem and all.
Rainbow Chard with Cranberries and Almonds was served with Chickpea Patties (pictured at right) in the Bastyr Dining Commons on February 10, 2012, as part of a Cancer-Fighting Menu created by dietetic intern Matt Keen. Other recipes included Carrot, Orange, Fennel Soup; Chickpea Patties; Asparagus and Mushroom Saute; Mediterranean Lentil Salad; Baked Salmon with Caper Relish; Baked Oatmeal with Berry Compote; and Baked Apples with Date Pecan Filling and Rhubarb Ginger Drizzle.
