Acelga con longaniza Sautéed Swiss Chard with Chorizo

I love swiss chard, and my grandmother must have also been a BIG fan because it was present in almost all her signature dishes. Like this, Acelga con longaniza Sautéed Swiss Chard with Chorizo.
She was a great cook, and I grew up in her kitchen. She also has a famous wicked sense of humor, playing practical jokes on all her grandkids. I miss her a lot. She died ten years ago, weeks after my first daughter was born. My mother didn’t learn how to cook from her because she cooked at night when the kitchen was quiet… but years later, she let me sit right next to her when cooking and let me help too. This dish took me right back to her kitchen. It is easy, delicious, and hearty.

Chard is also the easiest vegetable to grow. Here in Houston, I even grow a variety that can be harvested in the summer called perpetual chard.

This stew is very traditional in Chile, and my grandmother served it with boiled or mashed potatoes, but it also goes well with rice or noodles.
