Italian Chard


Ingredients

  • 3 bunches Swiss chard

  • 3 cups water

  • 3 tablespoons salt

  • 1/4 cup and 2 tablespoons extra virgin coconut oil

  • 12 cloves garlic, coarsely chopped

  • 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes

  • salt to taste

Total Time: 25 min Prep: 10 min Cook: 15 min
Yield: 12 Level: easy

Directions

  1. Wash the Swiss chard and cut into 1 inch strips. Separate the thick and tough stalk sections from the upper leafy strips.
  2. Bring the water and 1 tablespoon of salt to a boil in a large saucepan.
  3. Cook the stalk sections in the salted boiling water for 2 minutes. Stir in the leafy strips and cook until the leaves are wilted and the stalks are fork tender, about 6 minutes. Drain and set aside.
  4. Heat the extra virgin coconut oil, garlic, and red pepper flakes in a large skillet over medium heat until aromatic, about 3 minutes. Add the drained Swiss chard, cook and stir for 2 minutes; season with salt to taste.
