Ingredients

  • 1/2 tbs Olive Oil
  • 2 lbs Swiss Chard washed
  • 3 Cloves of Garlic minced
  • Pinch of Kosher Salt
  • Cracked Black Pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Rough chop the swiss chard and discard any thick stem pieces (if preferred).
  • Add the olive oil to a large skillet and heat over medium.
  • When the oil is hot, add the minced garlic to the skillet and saute for about 30 seconds then add the swiss chard greens.
  • Turn the greens gently to coat and season with salt and pepper.
  • Continue to gently turn as the greens cook until desired tenderness, about 7 minutes.
  • Serve hot.

Notes

Just like with spinach, you'll begin with what seems to be a large amount of greens but chard cooks down (wilts) while cooking.
