I found this recipe in the Nov/2007 Gourmet magazine. Posted for my Thanksgiving meal this year. Chard can be washed, dried and cut 2 days ahead and chilled in sealed bags lined with paper towels. Chard can be cooked 4 hours ahead and reheated over low heat on stove or in a microwave oven.

Stir-Fried Swiss Chard and Red Peppers image

This is particularly beautiful if you can find rainbow chard, those multicolored bunches with red, white and yellow stems. Slice the chard crosswise in thin strips. If the pieces are too thick, they'll be tough.

Time 20m

Yield Serves three to four

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 tablespoon soy sauce (low-sodium if desired)
