Swiss chard with almond sauce, quick to make and really tasty.

Swiss chards are at its best right now #swisschardseason. This year I am growing them at home in the urban garden and these will be almost the last ones 🙁 until next year.

Today I made them in a super easy almond sauce, quick to make and really tasty!
