SWISS CHARD WITH GARLIC



Swiss Chard with Garlic image

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.

GARLICKY SWISS CHARD



Garlicky Swiss Chard image

There's really no secret to making excellent sautéed greens: just good olive oil, salt, loads of garlic and a jolt of red pepper flakes. This method works with pretty much any green too - broccoli, broccoli rabe, kale, spinach, collards, brussels sprouts or green beans - so you've really no excuse not to get your daily dose of vegetables. Serve it as a side to any roasted or grilled meat, or over a mound of creamy polenta that's been crowned with a fried egg.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh Swiss chard: Look for leaves that are deep green and crisp, with no signs of wilting or yellowing.
  • Wash the Swiss chard thoroughly: Rinse the leaves under cold water to remove any dirt or grit.
  • Remove the tough stems: Cut the stems off the leaves, leaving only the tender, leafy parts.
  • Chop the Swiss chard: Cut the leaves into 1-inch pieces.
  • Use a large skillet: This will help to ensure that the Swiss chard cooks evenly.
  • Heat the olive oil over medium heat: Do not let the oil get too hot, as this will cause the Swiss chard to burn.
  • Add the Swiss chard to the skillet: Cook, stirring occasionally, until the Swiss chard is wilted and tender, about 5 minutes.
  • Add the garlic: Cook for 1 minute more, or until the garlic is fragrant.
  • Season with salt and pepper: To taste.
  • Serve immediately: Sautéed Swiss chard is best served hot.
