Turn one of the most underrated veggies into delicious sautéed swiss chard, packed with nutrients and plenty of color, perfect for integrating into your favorite salad or serving as a side.
Rinse the leaves and stalks thoroughly under running water. Use a salad spinner or a kitchen towel to pat them dry.
Remove the stems from the leaves by slicing down either side of the stem. Cut them into thin slices (about ¼ inch). Roughly chop the Swiss chard leaves.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Put the chopped stems in and let them cook for 1-2 minutes until they’re tender.
Add in the chopped leaves, salt, and pepper. Keep stirring for another 1-2 minutes until the leaves soften and become wilted.
Switch off the heat, add a drizzle of lemon juice, and stir everything together. Taste and adjust the seasoning before serving!
Storage Information
Keep in an air-tight container in the fridge for 3-4 days. You can also freeze it for up to 3 moths.
Notes
Optional add-ins: you can add some thinly sliced garlic or onions when cooking the chard. You can serve the dish with parmesan cheese or pine nuts.
