Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2-3 tablespoons minced garlic
- 2 bunches Swiss Chard washed and dried
- 1-2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice to taste
- 1-2 teaspoons lemon zest to taste
- 2-4 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- To prep the chard, , start by taking the stems and center ribs out and chop them together, placing in a bowl. You can also chop the stems off and leave the center ribs on, the choice is up to you. Tear the, leaves coarsely and set aside in a different bowl.
- (You can either cook the stems OR leave them out if you only want the leaves. I like a bit of texture, so I cook them first until tender.)
- In a large skillet heat the olive oil.
- Place the bowl of stem/rib pieces into the hot oil and saute until the ribs are tender.
- Add in the leaves and the garlic and, saute until they have wilted and cooked.
- Remove from the heat and stir in the lemon juice and lemon zest.
- Sprinkle with the Parmesan, salt and pepper.
- Serve hot.
