Smokey and full of depth, this vegetable-forward dip pairs beautifully with fresh vegetables, meats, or crusty sourdough bread. This dip makes excellent use of Swiss chard stems, which often go unused when recipes focus only on the leaves. Optionally, you can include the leaves in the dip for added texture and flavor, as explained below. For another version of this dip, omit the swiss chard and instead add 3 cups of hard-roasted tomatoes along with ¼ C. of tomato paste.
