Swiss Chard w/ Peppers and Garbanzos
I rarely have a plan for what I am going to do with my greens, but I know having them in the fridge is half the battle, this will at least assure that I will work them in to my weekly meals.
If I'm having a day where I just don't feel like thinking, my greens inevitably end up like everything else I make when I don't want to think too much -- cooked up with some garlic and olive oil!
(I'm telling you, if this is all you ever do in the kitchen, you'll never be disappointed).
But on this particular day, I did feel like thinking, so I pulled some veggies out from the fridge, along with some canned beans and voila... this yummy dish was born!
I actually made this for breakfast topped with an over medium egg... it was so good!! But it's also great as a side for chicken, fish, and beef OR if you want to go vegetarian, simply serve it over some rice or grains OR mixed in with a bowl of pasta... the possibilities are endless!

This salad looks good. I have been looking for more recipes with swiss chard. I like the idea of topping a salad with an egg!

Kevin - The egg on top is really good. I just love eggs, you can pop them on top of almost anything and they just make the dish that much better!
