Ingredients
  

  • 2 bunches Swiss chard rinsed
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic crushed

  • Heat the olive oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the crushed garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
  • Add the chopped stems and cook for 3–4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften.
  • Add the chopped leaves and continue to sauté, stirring frequently, until wilted and tender, 2–4 minutes.
