Time 30m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 bunches about 2 lbs. swiss chard
3 tablespoons olive oil
6 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1 tablespoon tomato paste
4 plum tomatoes, chopped
2 (15 ounce) cans cannellinni beans, drained and rinsed
salt and pepper

  • Drop the chard into the boiling water. Cover and when it comes back to boil, reduce to simmer for 15 minutes or until tender. Drain.
  • In a large skillet, heat 1 T of the olive oil with the garlic and red pepper over medium heat, stirring constantly for 2 minutes or until garlic just begins to turn golden.
  • Immediately stir in tomato paste, continue cooking and stirring for 1 more minute.
  • Add plum tomatoes, turn heat to high and stir constantly for 1 - 2 minutes to soften the tomatoes.
  • Add the beans and the chard. Continue cooking over high heat, stirring constantly for 3 more minutes. Lower the heat to medium and stir in 2 T olive oil. Add salt and pepper to taste.
  • Simmer, stirring often for 2 more minutes. Sprinkle with olive oil before serving.
