How To Make Swiss Chard

Wash Red Swiss Chard and trim it. Chop Red Swiss Chard, keeping stems separately and leaves separately.

In a large pot bring water to a boil and add the chopped stems of Red Swiss Chard. Cook for 2 minutes, and add the chopped Swiss Chard leaves to the pot. Cook the leaves and stems for 5-7 more minutes.

Strain the Swiss Chard and let it cool. Once the Swiss Chard is cool, squeeze more water out of it.

Peel and chop the garlic. Heat up two tablespoons of olive oil in a frying pan. Add Swiss chard and saute for 3-4 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 2 minutes.

To serve, arrange the Swiss Chard on the serving platter, drizzle one tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil on top and serve.
