I have a recipe that calls for spinach. I'm out of spinach-used it all, and the next batch isn't ready.

For the first time, I planted swiss chard, and it looks gorgeous (it's the multi-color kind). Anyway, can I sub the chard for the spinach? I know nothing about swiss chard-guess it's time for me to learn.

BTW, in this recipe I wilt the spinach.

Yes that is a good sub. In fact many people in Colorado where spinich does not grow wel plant extra swiss chard just to use it and eat it like spinich!

Good to know. Thanks. I'll try it tomorrow. I did not know that people in CO use Swiss Chard. I'm from Western NE, with a very similar climate to Northern CO, and we grew spinach. But hey, you learn something new everyday. Thanks again!

Actually, I'll probably use swiss chard a lot. It seems to grow a lot easier here than spinach.
