Ingredients

  • 1 bunch Swiss chard

  • 1 tablespoon salt

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

  • 4 cloves garlic, coarsely chopped

  • teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes

  • salt to taste

Directions

  1. Wash Swiss chard and cut into 1-inch strips. Separate the thick, tough stalk sections from the upper leafy strips.

  2. Add 1 tablespoon salt to 1 cup water in a large saucepan; bring to a boil. Add stalks and cook for 2 minutes. Stir in leafy strips. Cook until stalks are fork-tender and leafy strips are wilted, about 6 minutes. Drain.

  3. Heat oil, garlic, and red pepper flakes in a large skillet over medium heat until aromatic, about 3 minutes. Add drained Swiss chard; cook and stir for 2 minutes. Season with salt to taste.
