My husband & I enjoyed this recipe. I used spicy brown mustard instead of lemon juice, so it had a bit more "kick". Hubby loves chard, but is very picky. It's rare when he compliments a dish without my asking, but he did with this one. Thank you!

WHOA!!!!!! This was incredible!! It almost didn't make it to the table b/c we were picking it out of the pan!! My husband cooked an amazing steak and he said "the only thing I don't like about this dinner is that there's no more swiss chard!" Seriously. Crazy good. We used fresh garlic and I went ahead and used all of the chard, including the stems. I just cut the chard across in about 1 inch slices. It was perfect. Our new favorite. We also served grilled sweet potatoes with cumin and brown sugar...good stuff....

Just tried this recipe today and it was delicious, followed the recipe and it came out beautiful. I used red chard. I didn't use garlic paste, instead I crushed two cloves of garlic and dropped them into the pot with the bacon grease. I also added baked sweet potato chunks to the chard and topped it all with shaved parmesan cheese. YUMMY!! Definitely will try this again.

Do not discard the stems according to our farm co-op!!! Just trim them at the end and chop them into one inch pieces. This has a lot of flavor. I didn't use garlic paste-just pressed garlic right in the pan and sautéed it. I also didn't add the lemon because I didn't have one. Still turned out to be a fabulous side dish! This was our first time tasting Swiss chard and it won't be our last!

Delicious! I used fresh garlic in place of paste. To cut down on the fat I used only 2 teaspoons of butter and replaced the bacon with Turkey bacon. Yummy!!

First time Swiss chard cook. Loved this recipe. After reading all other's reviews, I pretty much stuck to the original recipe. Steamed the stems ahead of adding them to the recipe with the leaves. Also, for my palate only, I added hot sauce (I'm a spicy girl) to my portion only. Love reading everyone's reviews as it gives me confidence to try new foods.

I thought the lemon juice made the greens a little bitter.

Absolutely delicious! Love lemon and garlic and bacon with fresh Swiss chard. I also like adding the stems and allowing them to get a bit crunchy before adding the leaves.
