Dark leafy greens, specifically Swiss chard are popping up on plates all around Calgary. Served with crispy duck, roasted chicken or grilled venison. I don't remember seeing so much of this greenery in the past, but I'm grateful this dish is catching on.
Swiss chard, kale, collard greens, you name it, I'm addicted. These hardy greens are easy to prepare and crazy good for you too - much unlike the other easy options that I have hanging out in my fridge and pantry. What I like most though is that even when sauteed they keep a crunchier texture than say spinach would. My favorite dinner of late is sauteed greens with grilled Sunworks sausage (chicken rosemary, Italian or chorizo) and a dab of sweet-spicy mustard.
