Simple Swiss Chard: This is a recipe for Falling in Love with Swiss Chard!

I make this for stand-alone consumption, however, it mixes wonderfully with grains, beans, meat, or other vegetables.

Ingredients
  • 1 bunch chard
  • Olive Oil
  • garlic
  • onions
  • salt and pepper
Heat oil in a skillet. Rip the chard leaves from the stems and rip them into bite sized pieces. Chop the stems as well as some onion and some garlic, and toss in the oil until soft. This is a great time to add spices (ie oregano, hot pepper, salt). Add the leaves and allow them to cook down. You may want to add more liquid and cover to steam the greens faster. You can use water, or if you want to adda zippy zest to the dish, you could use wine, lemon juice, or your favorite vinegar. When complete, it is ready to eat! Toss it with some pickled beets and feta! Put it on some toast! Poach an egg! ! Eat it just how it is!

Getting fancy: If I am eating them with beans I will toss in a can in when I am adding the liquid. If I am including a grain (like bulgar) I will toss that in with the appropriate amount of liquid and allow the grain to cook with the chard.
