Horta: Boiled Leafy Green Salad

From Mark Bittman’s How to Cook Everything Vegetarian This is a standard Mediterranean preparation for greens. They can be almost any green you like, from chard and beet greens to kale, collards, spinach, turnip or mustard greens, even arugula. A mixture is great too. This recipe is also perfect for leftover cooked greens. And you […]

Chard Fritters

Recipe from Terry of Spotted Dog Farm in Randolph, one of her many legacies. I have been craving these recently.  With the hens laying well, plenty of chard, Kale & Spinach in the freezer, and more time at home, now is the perfect time.  Everytime we serve these we get requests for this recipe.   We […]

Chard with Caramelized Onions and Garlic Scapes

With enough time to cook, garlic scapes will wrinkle up and begin to brown and their garlic flavor will mellow and […]

Bittman’s Stuffed Chard Leaves

from Mark Bittman “A new take on Greek dolmades, grape leaves which are stuffed with rice and meat or lentils. This version is easy enough to be part of any Mediterranean- style spread, since the herb-based stuffing comes together in minutes and requires no cooking. A variety of other grains (barley, farro, wheat berries) also […]

45 pounds of Chard

Megan and lots of chard! The food processing has begun in earnest!  Megan and Donna persevered despite Liva’s repeated deliveries of larger and larger baskets of chard to process.  45..or more pounds later, the winter food security is well on its way.  45 pounds of chard have been harvested, washed, chopped, blanched, dried, packaged and […]
