Does chard taste like beet greens? I know they’re very closely related, but I haven’t tasted chard yet.
My favorite way to eat beet greens is to chop it fine and mix it in with spaghetti sauce. Or, chop fine, heat it up just enough to wilt, and add to a cream soup or cover it in gravy.
(”Cover it in gravy” is a great way to eat most green leafy things, in my opinion. I’m not much of a green-leafies person.)
All, I can say about the taste of chard is that it tasted bitter, and icky, and I chewed it up and spit it out...so, on the nuances or similarities to other stuff..Well, it tasted like something you spit out.
I thought that at Bouchon I had some veloute of Swiss Chard. I didn't really like it, but I ate it since it was 90 bucks for my meal. At home, I have the luxury of spitting it out.
I think I am going to try it stir fried, or as a replacement for the spinach in Jap Chai. I have some sweet potato noodles, so I think it will work.
