Use the beautiful rainbow colours of seasonal chard to make a quick and delicious vegan dish. If you don’t have chard, you can make this with kale or even humble spinach. A perfect accompaniment or side dish for any curry.

This was so delicious!and nutritious and economical. A perfect recipe! We ate it with naan and yogurt. Swiss chard practically grows wild where I live, so I used much more than the recipe called for. My farmers market is brimming with huge gorgeous bunches of Swiss chard, so I have been scouring the web for recipes. Interestingly Swiss chard is combined with potatoes in Mexico, Croatia, Italy annd Spain! I’ve been cycling through the recipes. I’ve enjoyed them all. Thanks for expanding my Swiss chard horizons.
