This tastes like "fancy restaurant fare"! I made it exactly as written...lemon and all...and am so glad I did, because all of the flavors balance out perfectly. Thanks for posting this recipe. We enjoyed this very much.

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.

This was decent. I needed to use the swiss chard I got in my CSA. I added spinach, too.

This dish was pretty good - I used kale instead of swiss chard. I think next time I will use cannelini beans or some other bean because I am just not a fan of the texture of garbanzo beans.

I really enjoyed this recipe. Used dried garbanzos that I soaked overnight, and cooked earlier in the day - I prefer the taste to canned. Didn't have any shallot or green onions so I used white onion and garlic instead. Great flavours all around and, once the beans were soaked and cooked, really fast to prepare. Oh, and soak the chard really well, if using fresh, to ensure all the "grit" is gone.

Very good. Even my husband liked it, and he's not a fan of garbanzo beans. The only change I made was to add a large clove of garlic.

I don't agree with those who think this is too bland. It isn't covered in spice, so you really taste all of the ingredients. I thought it was really good and will make again. Only changes I made were adding onions and garlic and a little cayenne in the first step, and at the end I added some cooked pasta to make it a full meal. Really tasty.

Agree w/ the other reviewers, recipe is good, but a bit bland. We added 3 cloves of garlic at the start with the shallots and green onion, as well as a few sprinkles of cumin. Could have still used a little more kick. We also made a yogurt sauce with feta and lemon. The pungency of the feta and creaminess of the yogurt worked well w/ the rest of the dish. I think using canned whole tomatoes with juice would be better than using a fresh tomato. Overall, turned out well, but it did lack that zing.

This was a wonderful base recipe with plenty of room for additional flavor options. Took suggestions from others and created a wonderful dish. I sauted white onion, lots of garlic, added the beans, then threw in the chard. After partly wilted I added some green and red sweet bell peppers that I had left over from a previous meal. Just before serving, added the lemon,black olives,tomatoes, goat cheese, and fresh parsley from my herb garden finished it off.

I love the idea of this recipe, but prepared as is, it's missing something. It definitely needs garlic, and some fresh herbs added at the end would be nice. Oregano would be delicious. Or instead of herbs you could add a touch of cumin. Bonus points for ease of preparation.

I had a lot of garden chard so I tried this recipe. It's so tasty! Adding the tomatoes last makes the whole dish taste fresh and "Springy". I used 2 packed cups chopped chard, leaves only (the stalks go into my veg stock). I also substituted 4 lg. cloves garlic for shallot, 1/2 med. onion for the green onions and 2 Roma tomatoes, as that's what I had on hand. This is now a favorite and in my recipe box!

Yummy base recipe, though I changed it quite a bit. I started with sautéing a large sweet onion, adding 3 cloves minced garlic and a pinch of red pepper flakes and a pinch of italian seasonings. I then added two bunches of spinach (I didn't have chard), then added 1 whole can of rinsed garbanzos, then 1 sliced tomato. I simmered on low, adding dashes of turmeric, cumin, cayenne, ground ginger, and garham masala. I finished to perfection with 1/2 a lemon and some ground sea salt. Soooooooo delicious and nutritious. I doubled the recipe, and there were no leftovers! A vegetarian delight!

I used collard greens instead of chard since that is what I had. I added more garbanzo beans too. Very nice combo of flavors. Pretty and healthy.

What a great way to put swiss chard and garbanzo beans together. I came home with these 2 ingredients and love this recipe. I did add more onion and garlic because I love those but I twisted it with cumin, now it has a Moroccan flavour to it and it is DELICIOUS. Thanks for sharing this recipe.
