How to Cook Swiss Chard

FULL RECIPE BELOW

This vegetable is fun to use for its colorful veins and stalks. Swiss chard makes for a great side dish and you don’t need many ingredients to prepare it.

Ingredients:
1 large bunch of fresh Swiss chard
1 small clove garlic, sliced
2 Tbsp olive oil
2 Tbsp water
Pinch of dried crushed red pepper
1 teaspoon butter
Salt

Method:
1. Rinse out the Swiss chard leaves thoroughly. Remove the toughest third of the stalk, discard or save for another recipe (such as this Swiss chard ribs with cream and pasta). Roughly chop the leaves into inch-wide strips.

2. Heat a saucepan on a medium heat setting, add olive oil, a few small slices of garlic and the crushed red pepper. Sauté for about a minute. Add the chopped Swiss chard leaves. Cover. Check after about 5 minutes. If it looks dry, add a couple tablespoons of water. Flip the leaves over in the pan, so that what was on the bottom, is now on the top. Cover again. Check for doneness after another 5 minutes (remove a piece and taste it). Add salt to taste, and a small amount of butter. Remove the swiss chard to a serving dish.

I just made this dish because I have an abundance of swiss chard and beet leaves in my garden and I am literally amazed at how delicious it turned out! Even my 13 year old grandson agreed on the rich taste it has, thank you now I have an extra way to take advantage of my growing gardening produce.

I usually force myself to eat veggies because they're healthy. Doing Swiss Chard this way, my wife and I both agreed, it was GOOD and we wanted more!

Thanks for the detailed steps! The video was easy to follow and I have made it like that. I added garlic to saute first with salt and kept the heat low then added the chard while tossing. I enjoyed the recipe! I ate it all in one sitting!

In my country We eat the ends too
You boil them until tender let them cool and put them un vinagre and oíl and some garlic or spicy powder
These are very good With meat

It would have been more flavorful if he had sauteed the garlic first before adding the Swiss chard. The flavor is absorbed in the oil and transfers to the vegetables. Coconut oil also gives it a great flavor! Maybe I should do a video called "in the kitchen with Marsha". I love cooking! So far with Swiss chard, I mostly add it to my Nutri-Bullet juicer with berries and seeds to make a very healthy drink.

What did you do with the nutritious juicy liquid? I could have dipped a slice of bread and wiped the pan clean ....slurp! Yummy dish!

"Is that good Matt?"
"Yes, it is sufficiently out of the shot."
"ok"

Personally I would have added the garlic first. In this recipe the garlic was added too late for the size chunks used... that is unless you like biting into hard raw pieces of garlic.

Sweet I have never had chards before I just pureed my garlic in a mortar!
