Ingredients
- 2 bunches Swiss chard rinsed
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- salt and pepper
Instructions
- Separate the Swiss chard stems from the leaves using a sharp knife. Chop the stems into ¼-inch pieces. Chop the leaves roughly. Crush the garlic cloves.
- In a non-stick pan, heat a drizzle of oil on MEDIUM. Add the garlic and Swiss chard stems. Sauté for 1–2 minutes. Add the chard leaves. Sauté for another minute.
- Squeeze the lemon juice over the Swiss chard. Lightly season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Sauté for another minute.
Notes
- The fresher your greens—choose vibrant and crisp leaves—the better the result.
- Rinse thoroughly to dislodge soil trapped in the chard leaves.
- Add the stems and leaves of the Swiss chard separately, as they cook at different rates.
