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.
Ingredients
- 1 bunch Swiss chard
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 pinch red pepper flakes
- salt to taste
- 1 squeeze fresh lemon juice
Directions
Step 1
Remove Swiss chard stems and cut into small pieces. Slice leaves into strips. Set both aside.
Step 2
Heat olive oil in a skillet and saute chard stems for 3 to 5 minutes. Add garlic and red pepper flakes; cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Mix in chard leaves, cover, and cook until wilted, about 2 minutes. Uncover, stir and cook for 2 minutes longer. Season with salt and squeeze lemon juice on top.
