Ingredients
Scale
- 1 large bunch of chard (any type). About 16 chopped cups. Stems and leaves. Cut the leaves into 2" pieces and the stems into 1" pieces.
- 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 5 large cloves of garlic, minced
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
- 1/4 tsp pepper
- 1/2 tsp Aleppo pepper or red pepper flakes (optional)
- 2 tsp freshly squeezed lemon juice
Instructions
- Wash the chard well and chop the leaves into large pieces, and the stem into smaller pieces. You should get about 16 cups, chopped. It may seem like a lot, but the Swiss Chard shrinks a lot.
- Heat the olive oil in a large deep skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped garlic and cook for 2 minutes, making sure it doesn't burn
- Add Swiss chard, and toss well so it's coated with the garlic and the oil. Cook on medium heat for 6 minutes until it starts to wilt.
- Season with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using) and continue cooking for an additional 4-5 minutes. Add lemon juice and turn off the heat.
- Adjust seasoning to your liking.
