I think I'm going to give up on chard, kale and collards for a while. I know I shouldn't start a recipe post with this viewpoint, but I've been trying really hard to like them for the last couple of years, never having had them until 2010, and I just don't seem to have the winter greens in me.
Don't get me wrong, all the dishes I've made with them have been wonderful, but I just don't enjoy them like I do squash or broccoli, I LOVE broccoli, I could eat a ton of broccoli in one sitting...
This dish was actually pretty good. The Italian Sausage paired perfectly with the chard and the spice was just right. It can be made as a side dish or main, I served it with my Kickin' Sweet Potato Mash which made for a well rounded meal.
