What can I substitute for swiss chard?
I live in a really small town and we only have one small supermarket. My husband and I love to cook and I found a great veggie marinara recipe on the Rocco Despirito show; it calls for Swiss Chard. We do not have that, what can I use as a substitute? Thank you!

Collard Greens, Escarole, Beet Greens, Turnip Greens, mustard greens, bok choy

most of the greens the last person said are somewhat bitter. Bok Choy is the closest. I guess we need to know what is avialable to you and we can better help.

For me as a former chef, I would use spinach, the bag type, or Curly Kale or both for contrast, you can buy many greens at the markets/shops but it is not imperative when making some recipe to be exact, anything you like, even frozen spinach defrosted and rain, squeeze out the water and chop is fine.
