This simple Swiss chard recipe is an easy, healthy, and delicious side dish! You could also toss it with pasta or serve it over creamy polenta to make it a meal.
Slice the stems off the chard leaves and chop the stems into ¼-inch slices. Coarsely chop the leaves.
Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chard stems and cook for 1 to 2 minutes, or until they begin to soften. Add the chard leaves, garlic, salt, and several grinds of pepper and sauté for 1 to 2 minutes, or until the leaves are wilted.
Turn off the heat, squeeze a little lemon juice over the chard, and toss. Season to taste and serve.
