Swiss Chard with Garlic

  5.0 – 4 reviews  

This Swiss chard recipe is quite straightforward. Although I prefer to use the entire vegetable, you must sauté the stems and leaves separately because the stems take longer to cook. Since the chard may wilt, this won’t yield a lot, so if you like chard, you might want to consider double the recipe.

Instructions

  1. Remove Swiss chard stems and cut into small pieces. Slice leaves into strips. Set both aside.

This is the way my Italian mother made chard and added potato cuts onion and for a treat some pieces of smoked sausage 60 years ago if you didn’t grow Swiss chard you couldn’t get it

Great recipe! I added some chopped onion and sautéed it with extra garlic before adding the chard.
