Ingredients

  • 2 Tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic -sliced thinly
  • 4 cups Swiss Chard - about 8 stalks
  • salt
  • ground pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon lemon zest
US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • Wash the Swiss Chard thoroughly with water. Separate the stalks with the leaves by cutting with a knife or tearing it with hands.
  • Cut the stalks into ¼-inch long pieces. Stack the leaves together and fold to make it easier to cut. Cut into small strips.
  • Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Saute slices of garlic until aromatic and slightly browned.
  • Add the chopped Swiss Chard and stir until completely covered in oil. (See Note 1.)
  • Season with salt and pepper and cook uncovered until wilted,about 3-4 minutes.
  • Add some lemon zest and toss once more. Turn off heat and transfer to a serving dish.

Notes

Note 1: If using mature chard, saute the stalks pieces first for a minute before adding the leaves so they can cook at the same time.
