I know we have not ordered chard. I have grown chard as it is much easier to grow than spinach and can be used and cooked in much the same way. Here is a recipe from one of my favorite blog sites:

Sauteed Chard Greens
Difficulty: Easy
Ingredients:
1 bunch of chard (washed), stems removed and leaves torn into pieces – DO NOT remove the water clinging to the leaves
2 cloves garlic, minced (optional)
1 cup diced sweet onion
3 Tablespoons butter (for GAPS/SCD/Kosher/casein free use ghee or olive oil)
1 Tablespoon balsamic vinegar (for GAPS/SCD use a legal vinegar)
parmesan cheese for topping (omit for GAPS/casein free)
Preparation:
Wash chard and remove stems, tear leaves into pieces and set aside. No need to remove any clinging water.
In a cast iron pan, saute the onion in butter or ghee. Once onion is transparent, add the garlic and continue cooking for two minutes. Deglaze the pan with the vinegar, then add the chard. Cook until the chard is wilted but still green (about 3 minutes), moving it around the entire time.
Top with parmesan cheese and serve!
Chard can be used in any of your spinach recipes. On my blog site I also have a recipe for creamed spinach that we love and you could use chard in.
