Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. Wash chard well and do not dry - leave water clinging to the chard.
  2. Cut stalks away from leaves. For quicker prep, just cut stalks from leaves a few inches from where the leaf begins. Or you can cut the leaves entirely from the stalk, if you like.
  3. Slice stalks into thin slices (see photo above for size). You may need to cut vertically down the stalk first if it is very wide.
  4. Heat olive oil in a very large pan. A large pot will do if you don't have a large pan with a lid.
  5. Add onion, garlic, chard stalk bits, and some salt and pepper to the olive oil and saute, stirring occasionally, until stalks are tender and a bit sweet, and onions are just starting to brown, about 20 minutes.
  6. While stalks are cooking, slice chard leaves into large pieces.
  7. When stalks are tender, add leaves to pan. You will have a mountain of leaves that threaten to overflow your pan, so put the lid on for a few minutes and they will quickly deflate.
  8. Once leaves are sufficiently wilted, toss and stir them with the onion, garlic, and stalk bits.
  9. Continue to saute everything until tender and even a little browned, about 10 minutes.
  10. Season with more salt and pepper if needed.
