Directions: |
Directions:Wash swiss chard thoroughly
Cut off ends and discard
Cut the remaining stalks and leaves into 1-2 inch pieces
.....to make it easier roll the leaves around the stalk for easier cutting
Cook the swiss chard as you would cook spinach, bring water to a boil than add the swiss chard
.....Put the stalks in boiling water first, they take longer to cook, than a few minutes later add the leaves
Drain thoroughly and divide into two portions
Lightly grease the pot
Layer the bottom of the pot lightly with 1/3 of the tomato sauce.
Place one portion of the swiss chard into the pot
Spoon one can of the plum tomatos over the swiss chard

Repeat layers to top of pot
