Instructions

Slice the stems and the leaves of rainbow chard thinly. The thinner they are, the softer they will be to eat. Keep the stems and leaves separate - don’t worry about the ribs running through the Swiss chard, as they are softer than the stems.
Preheat a large nonstick pan to medium heat. Then add oil - olive oil or vegetable oil are best.
Next, add diced shallots or young onions. Let them saute just onions become translucent, 2-5 minutes. Next add the minced garlic, and saute for 1 minute.
Add the stems of the rainbow Swiss chard. Saute them for 4-5 minutes.
Add the diced Rainbow chard leaves to the pan. Stir them in well and saute for another 4-5 minutes.
Remove from heat and serve immediately. Sauteed Rainbow chard can also be reheated in the microwave.

Notes

Note: add a squirt of lemon juice in the end - this is optional, but recommended. A squirt of fresh or refrigerated lemon juice helps play with the acidity and counteracts the slight bitterness of Swiss rainbow chard.
