Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 6 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 pinch crushed red pepper flakes
• 3 bunches rainbow chard, trimmed and rinsed
• 6 cloves garlic, sliced, or to taste

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Separate the stems of the chard from the leaves. Cut the leaves into thin strips and set aside. Thinly slice the stems.

Step 2

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or pot over medium heat. Stir in the sliced garlic, red pepper flakes, and chard stems, and cook for 3 minutes until the flavor of the garlic mellows and the stems begin to soften. Stir in the shredded chard leaves, cover, and cook 5 minutes over medium-low heat. Stir, recover, and continue cooking until the chard is tender. Toss with lemon juice to serve.
