This is my new favorite way to cook Swiss chard. I left out the onions and tossed in some baby bellas, and it was amazing.

Delicious! I didn't have lemon or fresh tomato so I used balsamic vinegar and canned diced tomato. Topped it with seared sea scallops. Will definitely make this again!

I had a huge amount of swiss chard that was given to me by my sister from her garden, and didn't know what to do with it 'til I found this recipe. I substituted yellow onion and garlic for the shallots and green onions since that was all I had on hand, and from there I just doubled the recipe and made it in my huge skillet. Very tasty. My husband and I both loved this. Since I still have enough swiss chard left to make another batch of this, I'll definitely be making this again.

Very tasty and satisfying. I substituted white beens for the garbanzos and added fresh garlic. It reheats well for lunches, too. I am a new subscriber to a local/organic produce box and had never cooked chard before. This recipe is being saved to my recipe box.

This dish balances beautifully - the lemon at the end really makes it. This recipe is quite easy and tastes great. I basically doubled the recipe and added garlic, because I am a garlic fiend, but this recipe is perfect just as it is written!

I loved this, but then maybe I'm biased because I grew up on stuff like this with it's classic and simple Italian flavors and ingredients! Swiss Chard has always been my favorite vegetable and is sweeter and more tender than other greens (also great for adding to soups). The stalks need extra cooking time, so I sliced and cooked them separately in boiling, salted water until tender. Not wanting to open a can of garbanzo beans for just a half cup, I used the full can. I left out the green onion, but added extra shallots and fresh minced garlic. Adding the lemon at the end was something I don't generally do, but enjoyed. For those looking for old-fashioned, traditional Italian cooking and need an Italian side dish to complete their meal, this is a great and authentic choice.

Healthy & surprisingly very tasty! I added cannellini beans and used lime juice instead of lemon (all I had) plus a little red wine vinegar. I also added a few stale pieces of rye bread which turned into yummy dumplings. Served the whole thing with tiny toast squares and it was perfection!

I liked, but didn't love, this recipe. I found it slightly bland, so I made more sauce with shallot, garlic, lemon juice, balsamic vinegar, and olive oil and added that. That improved the recipe for me. I would make it again.

Got Swiss Chard in my CSA box and had no idea what to do with it. Found this recipe, tried it and loved it. I accidentally made it with navy beans but it was delicious!

This was amazing! I went to my local farmer's market and got some fresh chard, sweet tomatoes, candy onions and the sharpness of the chard with the sweetness of the tomatoes/onions was superb! The beans add a great texture. I made this for guests (which I do not like to try out "new" things on guests) but they loved it as well. I also added a little minced garlic as recommended.

This was a great combination, and a wonderful way to use swiss chard. I used a whole can of chick peas and added minced garlic and a chopped yellow bell pepper - it was an incredible vegetarian dinner!

Really great way to use swiss chard which in my opinion is one of the most beautiful and healthful veggies there is. My son wasn't a fan of the lemon but I thought it balanced the bitterness of the chard. The garbonzo beans (aka chickpeas) added creaminess but I actually think it could do without the tomatos if you don't like them. I served with some roast turkey breasts and whole wheat dinner rolls for a really nice, easy dinner.
