I Microwave my Swiss chard it has so much more flavor than when you boil it, I just stripped the main stem from leaves, wash them twice (Mine are homegrown) put them in a salad spinner and get off all the moisture, than pack them as tightly as possible in a glass bowl cover with lid and microwave for 5 minutes or until completely collapsed chopped Add margarine a touch of salt that's all it needs. on occasion I will top with crumbled blue cheese.

Both my neighbor and I own a Vita-Mix high speed blender. The Vita-Mix is such a powerful blender that it finely pulverizes all the ingredients that are added to the blender jar.
I won my Vita-Mixer on an eBay auction and saved a lot of money instead of buying a new one. I have an older Vita-Mix model when they used to make the blender jar out of stainless steel.
I don't have a recipe per se but this is what I do with Swiss Chard. I cut up one pepper, one onion, some chicken tenders, season it and stir fry it in some olive oil. It makes a good and tasty meal. You could serve this over rice too if you so choose. Maybe some others have different recipes but this is my standby.
