Lovely - we grow lots of it too, the puree looks delish - what else is in it ???
I love swiss chard its one of my favourite vegetables-such a good value crop as it lasts such a long time!
I love this recipe ....

Asbean - just a very thick White Sauce, Nutmeg, Green Pepper & last minute Maldon.
Duke - sounds good. And the old Saag Aloo of course.
Thank you, Tim (and Duke), I'll give that a try. We go for the sag aloo too :) :) :)
Quick clarification - ground Green Peppercorns!
Have to admit. I grew it once and tried the leaves, then the stalks in various dishes but no one liked it.
Sorry Tim, your meals usually look, oh so very tempting but I have to admit this one looks like green sludge on a plate.
Your meals usually look brilliant but I have to say, that one does not whet my whistle one little bit.

As tempting as Bright Lights Chard looks on seed packets, Never grown it myself. Can't stand spinach flavour which is what I have been told it tastes like.

I adore spinach would eat it with every meal. Chard tastes nothing like it. Who ever told you it was, is a fat fiibber.

OK then will try it. If I throw up its your fault ;D ;D ;D
I am not keen on chard, although love spinach. Chard tastes like I am imagine soil to!
Sludge it is, Heather - no getting away from it. But delicious sludge!
But maybe you prefer brown gravy?

Sort of Bisto stuff ???
I think the puree looks good, I might try something like this.
I love chard - I've got rhubarb chard, taste not fantastic, but nice enough - and baby leaves nice in salad. I know what you mean about soil - a sort of minerally taste.
You can't beat swiss chard I think - that is delicious, much better than the coloured ones.
looks good to me too and is a kind of pesto really and why not - chard pesto, coriander pesto, pea shoot pesto - all these make great mayos as well
I like that.
Maybe I erm shouldn't tell everyone that they just replanted the beds at reading forbury gardens with tons of them, the wife eyed them up, I settled for 1700 decent plant pots they gave me, maybe I should of settled for licking my lips.... :-X
