Swiss chard is something special. The looks are great (especially for the rainbow version), the taste is earthy but very nice, and believe it or not… it seems to grow forever in my vegetable garden! Ever since I can harvest it, it continues to grow and seems to be and endless supply. I am not complaining!
What is also nice about Swiss chard is that you can use it in many different ways. Salad, stir fry, in a pasta sauce, and today in a quiche. Inspired by the recipe of David and Luise from Green Kitchen Stories, I made my own version of their spinach-feta quiche.
The combination of Swiss chard, courgette, feta, oregano and fresh dill reminds me of the great food we had during our holiday in Greece. Great and surprising flavours in every single dish. Stuffed courgette flowers, bell peppers with feta cheese, roasted vegetables… for me the beauty of vegetarian food is the flavour explosions and endless combinations!
I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as I did. And if you cannot find Swiss chard, use spinach instead!
