Ingredients
About 1-½ pounds Swiss Chard
2
T
extra virgin olive oil
2
cloves
garlic sliced thin
Juice of ½ of a lemon
Salt to taste
½
t
red pepper flakes
optional for those who like it a bit spicier
Instructions
Wash but don’t dry the Swiss Chard leaves.
Remove the stems and chop them into small pieces (about ½ inch long).
Heat the oil over medium heat and add the garlic.
When the garlic just starts to get lightly brown, add the stem pieces and cook for 2 to 3 minutes until they begin to soften.
Add the leaves and cook, covered, until both the leaves and stems are tender, about 4 minutes more.
Add the lemon juice, taste for salt, and sprinkle with the pepper flakes, if desired.
To serve place the Swiss Chard in a bowl garnished with lemon wedges.
