Garlic Lemon Rainbow Chard
Ingredients
  • 3 bunches rainbow chard, trimmed and rinsed
  • 6 tablespoons olive oil
  • 6 cloves garlic, sliced, or to taste
  • 1 pinch crushed red pepper flakes
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Instructions
1
First, detach the stems from the chard plant and set them aside. Next, slice the remaining leaves into thin strips and reserve them for later use.
2
Now, take the sliced stems and chop them into thinner pieces.
3
In a large cooking vessel, warm olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sprinkle in some red pepper flakes; mix well and cook for 3 minutes, allowing the garlic to mellow out and the stems to become tender.
4
Add the shredded chard leaves to the skillet, cover it with a lid, and cook for 5 minutes over low heat. Periodically stir the mixture and re-cover it until the chard is completely tender.
5
Once the chard is cooked, remove the lid and stir it gently. Continue cooking for a few more minutes until the chard is fully tender.
6
Finally, squeeze some fresh lemon juice over the cooked chard and serve it hot.
