Swiss Chard with Garlic

Swiss Chard with Garlic

This is a very simple recipe for Swiss chard. I like to use the whole vegetable but you need to saute the stems and the leaves separately as the stems take longer. This won’t make a lot as the chard will wilt, so if you love chard, think about doubling the recipe.

Step 1
Remove Swiss chard stems and cut into small pieces. Slice leaves into strips. Set both aside.

Step 2
