SWISS CHARD WITH GARLIC



Swiss Chard with Garlic image

This is a very simple recipe for Swiss chard. I like to use the whole vegetable but you need to saute the stems and the leaves separately as the stems take longer. This won't make a lot as the chard will wilt, so if you love chard, think about doubling the recipe.

GARLICKY SWISS CHARD



Garlicky Swiss Chard image

There's really no secret to making excellent sautéed greens: just good olive oil, salt, loads of garlic and a jolt of red pepper flakes. This method works with pretty much any green too - broccoli, broccoli rabe, kale, spinach, collards, brussels sprouts or green beans - so you've really no excuse not to get your daily dose of vegetables. Serve it as a side to any roasted or grilled meat, or over a mound of creamy polenta that's been crowned with a fried egg.

SAUTEED RED SWISS CHARD WITH GARLIC

Categories     Garlic     Side     Sauté     Thanksgiving     Quick & Easy     High Fiber     Low/No Sugar     Fall     Vegan     Chard     Gourmet     Sugar Conscious     Vegetarian     Pescatarian     Paleo     Dairy Free     Wheat/Gluten-Free     Peanut Free     Tree Nut Free     Soy Free     No Sugar Added     Kosher

Yield Serves 8

Number Of Ingredients 4

3 1/2 pounds Swiss chard (preferably red; about 4 bunches), washed
1/4 cup olive oil
4 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 cup water

Steps:

  • Cut stems and center ribs away from Swiss chard leaves. Slice stems and center ribs thin and reserve. Chop leaves coarse and reserve separately.
  • In a 10- to 12-quart heavy kettle heat oil over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking and sauté reserved stems and ribs, stirring, until crisp-tender. Add garlic and sauté, stirring, until garlic is fragrant. Add reserved leaves with water clinging to them and cook, turning with tongs, until wilted. Add 1/2 cup water and cook, covered, over moderate heat until leaves are tender, about 4 minutes. Season chard with salt and pepper. Chard may be made 1 day ahead and chilled, covered.

Tips:

  • Choose the right Swiss chard: Look for fresh, young Swiss chard with brightly colored stalks and leaves. Avoid wilted or bruised leaves.
  • Wash the Swiss chard thoroughly: Rinse the Swiss chard under cold running water to remove any dirt or debris.
  • Remove the stems: Cut off the stems from the Swiss chard leaves. The stems can be used in other dishes, such as soups or stews.
  • Chop the Swiss chard: Chop the Swiss chard leaves into bite-sized pieces.
  • Sauté the Swiss chard over medium-high heat: This will help to caramelize the Swiss chard and bring out its natural sweetness.
  • Add garlic and other seasonings: Garlic is a classic addition to sautéed Swiss chard, but you can also add other seasonings, such as salt, pepper, red pepper flakes, or lemon juice.
  • Serve the sautéed Swiss chard immediately: Sautéed Swiss chard is best served immediately after it is cooked, while it is still hot and flavorful.

Conclusion:

Sautéed Swiss chard is a quick and easy side dish that is packed with flavor. It is a great way to use up fresh Swiss chard, and it can be served with a variety of main courses. With its vibrant color and slightly bitter taste, sautéed Swiss chard is sure to be a hit at your next meal.
