Step 17Chard and Baby Lettuce
Today we harvested some swiss chard and some baby lettuce which we planned on using for the night's dinner.
Much to our satisfaction, we had two colors of swiss chard; yellow and red. We harvested a little bit today by cutting at the base of the leave, with the stem and all. It is great when you saute it. First you should rinse it off, just like anything you harvest. Chop up the leaves and if you like; the stem as well. The stem can be added to a salad to add a unique flavor. Once you chop the chard up, pour some olive oil in a pan, and add the chard. It will be slightly sweet, and you can add some salt to taste. it should resemble spinach somewhat.
Our lettuce was not completely grown, but we decided to harvest a little bit of the young lettuce to mix in with some more mature lettuce that we purchased at a farmers market.
