This side dish quick and easy, healthy, and versatile with flavors like garlic and lemon.
Ingredients
- ½ cup canola oil
- 3 large garlic cloves, thinly sliced
- 4 pounds rainbow chard—thick stems discarded, ribs removed and cut into 2-inch lengths, leaves cut into 2-inch
- Salt and freshly ground pepper
- ½ teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
Preparation
In a large Sauté pan, heat 1/4 cup canola oil. Stir in the garlic and cook over moderately high heat until lightly golden, about 1 minute.
Add the chard leaves in large handfuls, allowing each batch to wilt slightly before adding more. Season the chard with salt and pepper and cook, stirring, until the leaves are softened and most of the liquid has evaporated, about 8 minutes. Transfer the chard to a colander over a bowl.
Repeat process with Rainbow chard ribs, stirring occasionally, until crisp-tender, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the wilted chard leaves and season with salt and pepper. Transfer to a bowl, sprinkle with the lemon zest and serve right away.
