Simple Chard
Chard is so good for us, but I haven’t been able to incorporate much into our daily diet. I finally decided to try this simple recipe and it will hopefully become a regular side dish.
Skill: Easy
Prep: 5 minutes
Total: 15 minutes
Ingredients:
- Chard, tough stems removed
- 1 garlic clove, chopped
- 1 teaspoon red chili pepper flakes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Lemon juice and butter, to taste
Heat olive oil. Add garlic and stir for 30 seconds. Add chili pepper flakes and stir for one minute. Add chard. Cover for 5 minutes, then toss chard in pan. Cover and let steam for an additional minute, adding a bit of water if the pan is dry. Serve with lemon juice and butter to taste.
