Ingredients
- 1 large bunch of fresh Swiss chard washed (rainbow chard)
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- salt and pepper
- 2 tablespoons sliced almonds (optional)
Instructions
- Cut or tear away the stems from the leaves. Cut the stems into 1/2 inch pieces. Coarsely chop the leaves into bite-sized pieces.
- Heat the olive oil over medium high heat. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
- Add the chopped Swiss chard stems and cook for 4 to 5 minutes.
- Add the chopped chard leaves and stir. Lower the heat to low, cover and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, until the leaves are wilted.
- Remove from the heat, season with salt and pepper. Garnish with almonds.
Notes
- Nutritional information does NOT include optional almonds.
- Add red pepper flakes for a kick of heat.
- STORING AND FREEZING
- Storing: Cooked Swiss chard can be stored in the fridge for 1-2 days before reheating in a skillet and serving. The longer it sits, the mushier it will become.
- Freezing: Because of the high water content and delicate structure of this leafy green, freezing is not recommended.
- Make-Ahead: You can prepare your Swiss chard ahead of time by chopping and adding to an airtight container with a paper towel at the bottom to catch any moisture. Store in the fridge for up to 2 days before sautéing and serving.
