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.
