Steps:

Add chard stems and ribs, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper and cook, covered, stirring occasionally, until stems are just tender, about 10 minutes. Add chard leaves in batches, stirring until wilted before adding next batch, and cook, covered, stirring occasionally, until tender, 4 to 6 minutes. Transfer with a slotted spoon to a serving bowl.

- If you don't have capers, you can substitute chopped pickles or cornichons.
- Serve the Swiss chard immediately after cooking. It can be enjoyed as a side dish or main course.
