Yield Makes 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

3 large bunches Swiss Chard (about 2 1/4 pounds total)
5 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
1/3 cup quartered pitted oil-cured black olives (2 to 3 ounces)
2 garlic cloves, crushed
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

Steps:

  • Cut stem from center of each chard leaf. Slice stems crosswise into 1/4-inch pieces; place in medium bowl. Cut leaves crosswise into 1 1/2-inch-wide strips.
  • Bring large pot of water to boil; salt generously. Add chard stems; cook until just tender, 3 to 4 minutes. Add chard leaves. Cook until just tender, stirring occasionally, about 2 minutes. Drain in large colander, pressing out any water. DO AHEAD: Can be made 2 hours ahead. Let stand in colander at room temperature.
  • Heat 4 tablespoons oil in heavy large skillet over medium heat. Add olives and garlic. Sauté until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add chard and chard stems. Toss until heated through and any remaining water evaporates, about 4 minutes. Mix in lemon juice and remaining 1 tablespoon oil; season to taste with salt and pepper. Transfer to bowl and serve.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover Swiss chard. I added some chopped sun-dried tomatoes and artichoke hearts for extra flavor. Turned out really well!
