I just received a package from Full Circle Farms and in it was some Green Chard and baby Bok Choy.

What do I do with either? Are they soup ingredients only or can you eat them raw?

Anybody have a suggestion?

Chard is great in soup, and Bok Choy is the main vegetable in Stir-Fry. Swiss Chard is mild enough for mixed salad, along with sweeter lettuce and the more bitter arugula.

Here is one of my own recipes:

Stir fry Bok Choy, green onion, and some celery in a little bit of oil. Add cooked chicken (or beef) mushrooms, and canned water chestnuts or bean sprouts, and moisten with soy sauce. Add garlic and curry powder if desired and serve over rice or noodles.

healthier than restaurant food and VERY authentic! :-)

I’ve read that bok choy is good in stir frys. Never had either one.
