Time 20m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

500 g swiss chard
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 fresh chili, roughly chopped
2 garlic cloves, roughly broken
1/2 lemon, juice only

Steps:

  • 1. Take the Swiss chard and separate the white stalks from the green leaves using a sharp knife. Chop both parts roughly into bite-size pieces, keeping the leaves separate from the stalks. Cook the stalks in plenty of boiling salted water for 5 minutes or until cooked through. Drain.
  • 2. In a large frying pan, heat the olive oil over a moderate heat. Add the chilli and garlic, and season with black pepper.
  • 3. Stir in the leaves, cover the pan and let them wilt for 5 minutes. Stir and cook uncovered for a further 5 minutes to reduce the juices in the pan.
  • 4. Add the stalks and a little more olive oil if necessary. Taste and adjust seasoning and squeeze over a little lemon juice.
