Ingredients
- 1 bunch swiss chard fresh or rainbow chard
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 pinch crushed red pepper flakes
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
- 1-2 tablespoons water
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tsp sugar
- Olive oil for finishing
Directions
- Properly rinse the chard to remove dirt and sand. Trim off the ends. Cut off the ribs from the leafy part.
- Add the olive oil, the chopped garlic, red pepper flakes, and sesame to a large skillet. Turn the heat on to medium and sauté for 2 to 3 minutes. Once the garlic begins to turn a light golden brown, remove from heat and add the Swiss chard leaves. Watch for splattering. Use tongs to turn it over to properly coat it with the garlic-infused oil.
- In a separate pan, blister the stems on very high heat and cook until almost tender. Add the stems to the leaves and season with salt and pepper and sugar.
- Cook all ingredients until soft.
- Taste and adjust for seasonings.
- Place on serving dish and finish with olive oil.
