Swiss chard
A vegetable plant with large green leaves and thick stems, prepared in a similar way to spinach. It is a cultivated form of beet and is botanically related to sugar beet and beetroot.
Zum Abendessen gibt es heute gedünsteten Mangold mit Kartoffeln.
For dinner today, we're having steamed Swiss chard with potatoes.
Mangold (Swiss chard) is a vegetable, so the word is often used with kitchen-related verbs. Typical combinations are 'Mangold zubereiten' (to prepare Swiss chard), 'Mangold dünsten' (to steam Swiss chard), or 'Mangold ernten' (to harvest Swiss chard).
Ich weiß nicht, wie man Mangold richtig zubereitet.
I don't know how to prepare Swiss chard properly.
When Mangold (Swiss chard) is meant as an ingredient or dish, it is often used like an uncountable noun without an article. So you say 'Ich koche heute Mangold' (I'm cooking Swiss chard today).
Gibt es als Beilage Reis oder Mangold?
Is there rice or Swiss chard as a side dish?
A useful kitchen tip: both the green leaves and the white or red stems of Swiss chard are edible. They are often prepared separately because the stems need to cook longer.
Zuerst die Stiele des Mangolds anbraten, dann die Blätter dazugeben.
First sauté the stems of the Swiss chard, then add the leaves.
