    Very satisfying combination. The marinade for the mushrooms was very mild and could have used either a hotter Chile or two jalapenos; it came across as more herby than spicy. My jalapeno was very young and mild however, all I could find in the market this time of year. The combination of the seared mushrooms, the steam-sauteed chard leaves, and the pickled chard stems is delicious however. Although this worked well with soft creamy grits, I think it would have been better had the grits been cooked in advance, chilled and then fried or baked to form a crispy crust with a soft interior. But that is a minor quibble.
