If you don’t have a large skillet with a matching lid, use a flat cookie sheet to cover the pan. Remember that both pans will become hot, so use a pot holder when handling.

Ingredients

Uncooked Swiss chard

12 oz, (1 bunch), rainbow variety

Olive oil

2 tsp(s)

Kosher salt

¼ tsp(s)

Black pepper

1 pinch(es)

Water

2 tbsp(s)

Fresh currants

1 tbsp(s)

Fresh lemon juice

1 tsp(s)

Garlic

½ clove(s), large, very thinly sliced

Instructions

  1. Remove stems from chard; save for another use. Coarsely chop leaves and inner ribs (you’ll have about 9 loosely packed cups).
  2. In a large skillet, heat oil over medium heat; add chopped chard, garlic, salt, pepper, water and currants; stir to coat. Cover and cook until tender, stirring occasionally, about 10 minutes. Stir in lemon juice and cook 10 seconds more. Serve warm.

Notes

Rainbow and red Swiss chard varieties have brightly coloured stems that retain their colour but darken slightly when cooked. Green Swiss chard can be substituted.
