Swiss Chard

A lot of people aren't familiar with this green. It's got a funny taste; a lot of people say that it's somewhere between a spinach and a beet leaf taste. Either way, it makes a very pretty dish packed with nutrients and vitamins.


Swiss Chard

Ingredients
1-2 bunches of swiss chard
several cloves of garlic
3 tbsp. olive oil

Preparation:
Wash the greens. Cut the pink stems up the leaves into small pieces. Saute over medium-high heat in garlic and olive oil until tender. Reduce heat. Add Swiss chard leaves. Cover and steam until the leaves reach desired tenderness.

Goes well with a balsamic vinaigrette
