Too tired to cook. The chard.

Daniel brought a lot of chard from the place he knows. It is very cheap but it is also what I´d call second class veggies. I will have to wash it and many of its leaves are half shredded. Then the cooking is easy. The next step has to be thought. There are several dishes I know how to make, but I have noticed that chard does not freeze very well. Maybe if I freeze a chard soup (cream) it could be kept for a while. Do you know how to keep chard in the freezer? It should be similar to spinach, but I haven´t done that either. Do help!

It looks like the vegetable that we call pechay. I used to love that until I noticed that it was giving me indigestion. Now it's only cabbage for me.

Boil the chard stalks for two minutes and the leaves for one minute. Place them in iced water immediately after boiling to stop the cooking process. Freeze the stalks and the leaves in separate bags.

Here is what I found out online,
September 23, 2012 |In Recipes |By The Farmers Feeling overwhelmed with greens? This is a great way to extend your CSA share beyond the season, freeze now and enjoy in January.  Chard leaves freeze well after blanching, but the stems become soggy and rathe

Have no idea how you freeze it that is a very nice chard you have there and its very rare I see one with very dark green leaves here otherwise I don´t touch it. I am too lazy and tired to listen to see or hear Pedro Sánchez and company buah. Nuff said.
