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.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh Swiss chard: Look for vibrant, deeply colored leaves with crisp stems. Avoid any wilted or yellowing leaves.
  • Prep the Swiss chard properly: Thoroughly wash the Swiss chard leaves to remove any dirt or debris. Separate the leaves from the stems and roughly chop both.
  • Use good quality olives: Opt for flavorful, brine-cured olives such as Kalamata, Castelvetrano, or Niçoise olives. Pit and slice the olives before using.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When sautéing the Swiss chard, work in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the pan. This will help the Swiss chard cook evenly and prevent steaming.
  • Season to taste: Taste the Swiss chard throughout the cooking process and adjust the seasonings accordingly. Add more salt, pepper, or lemon juice as desired.
