Rhubarb Chard
Deep crimson stems and dark green leaves with red veins running through them like rivers on a map. Dramatic in the garden, versatile in the kitchen, and the name confuses people in the most satisfying way.

Chard and chickpea stew
Fry onion and garlic, add smoked paprika, tinned tomatoes, and drained chickpeas. Wilt torn chard leaves into the stew for the last few minutes. Serve with crusty bread. Red stems and all.
