Well, here's my favorite of the two: Quinoa Chard Pilaf!

1 T olive oil
1 diced onion
3 minced garlic cloves
2 c. uncooked quinoa, rinsed
1 c. canned lentils
8 oz. fresh chopped mushrooms
1 qt. vegetable broth
1 bunch Swiss chard (get rid of the stems)

Step 1: Heat the oil over medium heat. Stir in onion and garlic, and saute until onion is tender--five minutes or so. Then mix in the quinoa, lentils, and mushrooms. Pour in the broth. Cover, and cook 20 minutes.

Step 2: Remove pot from heat. Shred chard, and gently mix into the pot. Cover, and allow to sit until the chard is wilted.

Step 3: Eat and be happy!

There's also a simpler one for just red chard w/onions, which you can find at Allrecipes:

...come to think of it, that may be where I found the first one, too. I have too many recipes... can't keep track of them all!

As for what I'm up to, I'm working as a science writer for a non-prof in Philadelphia, freelancing about half-time, and will be teaching (science writing) at Temple this fall. And in my spare time, I'm working on a new vegetarian recipe website :)

Hi Michelle! Nice to hear from you again. What are you up to these days?

I'd love to hear your chard recipes though. We came up with a pretty good one but we're getting a bit tired of fixing it all the time so a new recipe or two wouldn't hurt :)

Hey Saturnino. Remember your old TA from Trachtenberg's class? My boyfriend, Andy (perhaps you know him as "merz") has been following you on Twitter, apparently. Thus I found your website.

Sorry to hear about your unfortunate experience with the wrong side of a truck. Another friend of mine from Drexel was just nailed by a cab a few weeks ago. Apparently it's open season across the country. I'm glad to hear you're ok.

By the way, if you're still looking for some good Chard recipes, email me. I've got two :)
