STIR-FRIED SWISS CHARD AND RED PEPPERS
This is particularly beautiful if you can find rainbow chard, those multicolored bunches with red, white and yellow stems. Slice the chard crosswise in thin strips. If the pieces are too thick, they'll be tough.

Steps:
- In a small bowl or measuring cup, combine the soy sauce, rice wine or sherry, and the sesame oil. Combine the salt, pepper and sugar in another small bowl. Have all the ingredients within arm's length of your pan.
- Heat a 14-inch flat-bottomed wok or 12-inch steel skillet over high heat until a drop of water evaporates within a second or two in the pan. Swirl in the oil by adding it to the sides of the pan and tilting it back and forth. Add the garlic and ginger, and stir-fry for no more than 10 seconds. Add the chard, and stir-fry for two minutes, until the leaves wilt. Add the red pepper and spring onion or red onion. Turn the heat to high, and stir-fry for one minute, or until the pepper begins to soften. Add the salt, pepper and sugar. Toss together, and add the soy sauce mixture. Stir-fry for two to three minutes until the chard leaves are tender and the stems and red peppers are crisp-tender. Stir in the cilantro, and serve over cooked quinoa, rice or rice noodles.

SEARED SHRIMP WITH CHARD, CHILES AND GINGER
Spicy sautéed chard with chiles and ginger is full of flavor, easy and pleasing with pretty much any protein. Here, it moves to the center of the plate with plump, seared shrimp. Any kind of chard can be used for this dish, but rainbow or red will be prettier than white-stemmed Swiss chard. That's because those stems go right into the pan along with the leaves. It's not only less wasteful, but the stems also add a pronounced, succulent texture to the mix.

Steps:
- Season shrimp generously with salt. Wash and trim chard, thinly slicing the stems.
- In a large skillet over medium heat, heat 1 tablespoon of the oil, then add shrimp and sear until lightly browned, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer shrimp to a plate. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons oil to the skillet, let heat for a few seconds, then add garlic, chile peppers, shallot and ginger and sauté until slightly browned, about 3 minutes. Stir in sugar, pepper and salt and cook for 1 minute longer. Stir in chard stems and sauté until they start to soften, about 2 minutes.
- Add the greens to the skillet along with 2 tablespoons water and immediately cover the pan. Keep it covered for 2 to 3 minutes to allow the greens to wilt. Once the greens have cooked down, remove the lid and continue cooking for a few more minutes to allow the water to evaporate. Add the shrimp and any liquid accumulated on the plate and cook just until the shrimp are heated through, about 1 minute longer. Drizzle with the sherry vinegar and gently toss to coat. Serve hot, garnished with the cilantro.

SWISS CHARD WITH GINGER AND GARLIC
In North India, greens are often cooked simply, with ginger, garlic, and chili powder or green chilies. Indians love eating greens at all meals. They go well with meats. If you are having a simple Indian meal of dal and rice, all you need to add is a green and a relish, perhaps with yogurt in it.

Steps:
- Hold several chard leaves together and, starting at the stem end, cut the stems and leaves crossways, at 1/4-inch intervals.
- Pour the oil into a large pot and place on medium-high heat. When hot, put in the garlic and ginger. Stir a few times. Put in all the chard, with some of the washing water still clinging to the leaves. Cover. As soon as the leaves have wilted, a matter of a few minutes, add the salt and cayenne. Stir to mix. Cover again and turn heat to low. Cook 5 minutes or until chard is just done.
