Ingredients
- 1 swiss chard or rainbow chard, large bunch
- 1 Tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil divided
- 1 Tablespoon butter salted
- 1 onion chopped, medium
- 2 cloves garlic finely chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper or more to taste, freshly ground
- 2 Tablespoons water
- 1 Tablespoon balsamic vinegar optional
Instructions
- Clean the Swiss chard thoroughly by rinsing well with cold water to remove any dirt or grit. Separating the leaves from the stems and chop the stems into small pieces, while cutting the leaves into roughly 1- to 2-inch pieces.
- Heat the oil and butter in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add the swiss chard stems, chopped onion, garlic, salt, and pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, until the onions and Swiss chard stems have softened and the onions start to slightly brown, about 6-7 minutes.
- Add the Swiss chard leaves and the water, then cover and continue to cook for 2-3 minutes until the leaves have wilted. Remove the lid and continue to cook for another 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until everything is tender. Stir in the balsamic vinegar.
Notes
- Variation: A delicious variation is to stir in 2/3 cup of heavy cream during the last minute of cooking before serving. You could also add pine nuts for some toasty crunch.
- Storage: Leftovers will keep for 2-3 days in the fridge in an airtight container and can be reheated in the microwave.
