Sauteed Swiss Chard
Sauteed Swiss Chard makes a delicious and incredibly healthy side dish! Easy to make in just minutes and naturally vegan too!
Ingredients
- 1 bunch Swiss Chard (or rainbow chard)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/4 large sweet onion finely chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/8 teaspoon ground pepper
- lemon juice freshly squeezed
Instructions
- Separate the leaves and stems on the Swiss chard. To do this, I like to fold the Swiss chard in half and use a knife to cut off the thicker parts of the stem. Roughly chop the leaves as you would lettuce for a green salad. Place them in a large bowl or salad spinner and wash and drain them.
- Rinse the stems and trim the ends. Slice the stems.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the Swiss Chard, onions, thyme, salt and pepper. Cook for approximately 5-7 minutes or until the onions and stems soften.
- Add the leaves and saute until they begin to wilt and soften, approximately 2 minutes. Remove from heat and add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice (as much as desired). Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
