Swiss chard · uncommon
White Silver
The classic green-and-white chard with the broadest, thickest white stems. Less flashy than Bright Lights, but the stems are meatier and cook like a separate vegetable entirely. The workhorse chard for serious cooks.
in the kitchen
Chard stem gratin
Cut the thick white stems into batons, blanch until just tender, lay in a dish with bechamel and gruyere. Bake until golden and bubbling. Use the green leaves in something else. Two vegetables from one plant.
