Just steamed a bunch of chopped rainbow chard over 1 cup dried Lundberg wild and brown rice and 2 cups water. Seasoned with salt, pepper and Tabasco. Yummy one-pot meal.

Says it's got a bitter flavor, though. I don't think I'd like that very much because that's the whole reason I don't like other greens. I can't stand the bitter taste.

I don't think I can taste the bitter flavor in greens. Someone mentioned to me that Collard are really bitter raw but when I tried it, I didn't think it was bitter. I think some greens are kind of sweet (is it just me?). I tried swiss chard and I liked it. I need to try it some more.

I don't think chard is bitter. To me it tastes like more flavorful spinach. Cooked in a soup or in a egg dish, I doubt I could tell the difference between chard and spinach (although in dishes where the chard is a more featured ingredient, I would be able to tell the difference and in most cases, I'd like the chard better--it just adds a little something extra). And I have had other greens that do taste bitter to me--turnip greens and mustard--so it's not that I can't taste the bitterness. In terms of leafy greens, chard is really very mild in flavor.

I tried it once a long time ago but now I think I will try it again. Thanks for the great ideas. The rainbow chard looks so pretty, I've always wanted to use it in something.
