Categories: Swiss Chard

Ingredients

• 1 Swiss chard bunch
• 1 clove garlic, sliced
• 2 Tbsp olive oil
• 2 Tbsp water
• Pinch red pepper, dried crushed
• 1 teaspoon butter
• Salt

Directions

1. 1 Rinse out the Swiss chard leaves thoroughly. Remove the toughest third of the stalk, discard. Roughly chop the leaves into inch-wide strips.

2. 2 Heat a saucepan on a medium heat setting, add olive oil, a few small slices of garlic and the crushed red pepper. Sauté for about a minute. Add the chopped Swiss chard leaves. Cover. Check after about 5 minutes. If it looks dry, add a couple tablespoons of water. Flip the leaves over in the pan, so that what was on the bottom, is now on the top. Cover again. Check for doneness after another 5 minutes (remove a piece and taste it). Add salt to taste, and a small amount of butter. Remove the swiss chard to a serving dish.
