Preparing Swiss Chard

Swiss chard is delicious when it is prepared properly. If not prepared properly it can be soggy and unpalatable. This is a super easy way to have success every time. Use this recipe for any braising greens: kale, collards, beet greens, etc.

Ingredients

- Swiss Chard (Chopped in 1/4" strips. You have the option to remove the stem, we prefer to keep it in as it adds some nice colour.)
- 1 clove of garlic (minced or grated with a microplane)
- Oil of your choice (We often use sunflower oil or lard)
- Salt

Directions

1. Heat the oil and garlic in a dutch oven over medium heat
2. Cook garlic until golden brown then add swiss chard
3. Stir frequently until the chard is slightly wilted on all sides and then increase temperature to evaporate the bulk of the water from the leaves (30 seconds)
4. Transfer to a bowl, salt and toss
