Chard Saute

Ingredients

• large bunch swiss chard (or bag of rainbow chard)
• 1 ripe tomato, chopped
• 2 medium onions, chopped
• garlic cloves, diced
• olive oil
• salt and black pepper to taste

All ingrediants are approximate and can be adjusted to taste.

Instructions

1. Wash the chard and prepare the leaves. While wet, chop the leaves across at the centre to seperate the leaves from the stalks. Chop the stalks and finely chop the leaves.
2. Take a large, heavy bottomed saucepan and gently heat the oil. Add the onions and garlic and simmer for 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
3. First add the chopped stalks and then add the leaves to the top. Do not stir. Place a well fitting lid on the pan and gently cook.
4. After about 15-20 minutes the leaves will be cooking in their own liquid. Stir and ensure it is not too dry. Add the chopped tomato on top and salt and pepper to taste. Cook for a further 2-3 minutes.
