Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 2 bunches Swiss chard, about 1 pound
  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
  • ¼ teaspoon sea salt, plus more to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • Lemon wedge, for squeezing

Method
 

  1. Slice the stems off the chard leaves and chop the stems into ¼-inch slices. Coarsely chop the leaves.
  2. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chard stems and cook for 1 to 2 minutes, or until they begin to soften.
  3. Add the chard leaves, garlic, salt, and several grinds of pepper and sauté for 1 to 2 minutes, or until the leaves are wilted.
  4. Turn off the heat, squeeze a little lemon juice over the chard, and toss. Season to taste and serve.
