Ingredients

The following ingredients have 3 Servings
  • 2 bunches swiss chard, rainbow if available
  • 2 teaspoons olive oil
  • 1 yellow onion, sliced in rings
  • 2 cloves garlic, chopped coarse
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 cup dry sherry

Instruction

  • Clean the chard well. Make sure it's free of any sand and dirt particles. (I fill a large basin with water and wash it in three changes of water.) Don't spin the leaves dry - leave some water clinging to them. You'll need the moisture for cooking.
  • Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a heavy pot over a medium flame. Sautee the onions for about ten minutes, until they're golden yellow. Add the garlic and sautee for another minute or two, stirring.
  • Add the chard to the pot. Pour in the salt and wine. Cover the pot and cook, stirring every couple of minutes for about ten minutes. You want the chard nicely warmed through and softened, but still bright.
  • Serve warm or at room temperature.
