Sautéed Chard

This is a quick & easy way to get your greens. I especially love the vibrance and colour that rainbow chard adds to your dinner plate. Enjoy as a side, or add some white beans and enjoy over a bed of quinoa!

Total prep time: 15 minutes

Serves 2-4

Ingredients:

1 bunch      Rainbow or green chard

1 tbsp         Butter

2-3              Garlic cloves, minced

Sea salt & Fresh-cracked Pepper

Directions:

Wash chard and remove excess water with salad spinner. Tear leaves into small pieces, separating them from the stalks. Cut stalks into one inch pieces.

Melt butter in large pan over medium heat. Add garlic and stir until lightly browned, about 2 minutes. Add chard and cover pan with lid. Stir occasionally and let cook until chard leaves are wilted and stalks are tender, about 8-10 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Choose your own adventure:

Add a pinch of cayenne for some added heat.

Try canola or avocado oil instead of butter for an earthier taste.

Add a splash of lemon juice towards the end of the cooking time to freshen and lighten it up a bit.

Enjoy as a side, or add some white beans and enjoy over a bed of quinoa!

  1. Have you ever thought about adding a little bit more than just your articles? I mean, what you say is important and all. However imagine if you added some great visuals or videos to give your posts more, “pop”! Your content is excellent but with images and video clips, this website could undeniably be one of the best in its niche. Great blog!

  2. I know this if off topic but I’m looking into starting my own blog
    and was curious what all is required to get set up?
    I’m assuming having a blog like yours would cost a pretty penny?
    I’m not very web smart so I’m not 100% positive. Any tips or advice
    would be greatly appreciated. Kudos

    1. I used Host Upon to set it all up and it isn’t that bad. My sister-in-law created the logo and I did everything else. It has more been an investment in time and ingredients!
