Garlicky Swiss Chard and Chickpeas Recipe

6 cloves garlic or to taste
1 bunch swiss chard
1 15 oz. can chickpeas (garbanzo beans)
1 Tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1 cup chicken or vegetable broth
1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt (more or less depending on how much salt is in your broth)
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 lemon

1. Peel garlic and mince. Remove stems from chard and thinly slice. Set aside. Stack chard leaves, roll, and
slice across into thin ribbons. Drain chickpeas and rinse.
2. Heat olive oil over medium heat in a 10" saute pan. Add sliced chard stems and garlic. Cook, stirring
occasionally for about 5 minutes. Do not let garlic brown. If it starts to brown, turn down the heat.
3. Add chard ribbons and broth to pan, along with chickpeas. Bring to a boil and add salt and pepper.
Cover, turn down the heat, and simmer for 5 minutes, until chard is just soft and bright green.
4. Remove from pan to serving plate and serve with lemon wedges.

I have so much swiss chard growing in my raised vegetable beds (it's coming out of my ears!). I'm going to make this recipe and can't wait!

Made this for dinner tonight, I added some cayenne pepper for some spice and it was delicious!

I love swiss chard. But, do rinse the beans until the gas bubbles disappear before adding. It lowers the gas effect, if you know what I mean🤢
