Garlicky Swiss Chard

This recipe is from a website my job's wellness program uses.  It is one of the only ways I will actually eat swiss chard.

From website:

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 tsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 3 cups Swiss chard
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 tsp salt, kosher
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper, freshly ground
  • 2 tsp balsamic vinegar
INSTRUCTIONS

  • Add oil to a hot pan. When oil is hot, add garlic and cook for 1 minute over medium-high heat.
  • Quickly stir in Swiss chard and cook until wilted, about 4 to 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Drizzle balsamic vinegar over chard and serve.
I sometimes add some other spices, like cayenne pepper and smoked paprika.  I also add the balsamic vinegar while it is still in the pan cooking so that it cooks into it a little bit.  Definitely worth a try because it's quick, easy, healthy and yummy!  And with Betsy's swiss chard from the garden, it's beautiful!!
