Yield Makes 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

3 large bunches Swiss Chard (about 2 1/4 pounds total)
5 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
1/3 cup quartered pitted oil-cured black olives (2 to 3 ounces)
2 garlic cloves, crushed
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

Steps:

  • Cut stem from center of each chard leaf. Slice stems crosswise into 1/4-inch pieces; place in medium bowl. Cut leaves crosswise into 1 1/2-inch-wide strips.
  • Bring large pot of water to boil; salt generously. Add chard stems; cook until just tender, 3 to 4 minutes. Add chard leaves. Cook until just tender, stirring occasionally, about 2 minutes. Drain in large colander, pressing out any water. DO AHEAD: Can be made 2 hours ahead. Let stand in colander at room temperature.
  • Heat 4 tablespoons oil in heavy large skillet over medium heat. Add olives and garlic. Sauté until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add chard and chard stems. Toss until heated through and any remaining water evaporates, about 4 minutes. Mix in lemon juice and remaining 1 tablespoon oil; season to taste with salt and pepper. Transfer to bowl and serve.

I'm not a big fan of swiss chard, but this recipe changed my mind. The flavors were so well-balanced and the chard was cooked perfectly. I'll definitely be making this again.

This was a great recipe for a weeknight meal. It was quick and easy to make, and the flavors were delicious. I served it with some grilled chicken and it was a perfect meal.

This recipe was a disappointment. The swiss chard was tough and the flavors were bland. I won't be making this again.

This was a great recipe, but I made a few changes. I used baby swiss chard, which I think worked better than the regular swiss chard. I also added a bit of feta cheese at the end, which really took the dish to the next level.

This dish was a bit too salty for my taste, but I think that's because I used canned olives. Next time, I'll try using fresh olives.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover swiss chard. I added a few extra cloves of garlic and a pinch of red pepper flakes, and it was perfect.

I thought this dish was just okay. The flavors were a bit bland for my taste, and the chard was a bit tough.

This recipe was a bit too lemony for my taste, but I think that's just a personal preference. Otherwise, it was a great dish and I would definitely make it again.
