Sauteed Swiss Chard and Onions

Ingredients

  • 1 large bunch Swiss chard, stems chopped, leaves chopped in strips 1 inch wide

  • ¼ large red onion, chopped

  • 2 tbsp olive oil

  • 2 pinches red pepper flakes (more if you want extra heat)

  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a sauté pan over medium-high heat.

  2. Add onion and red pepper flakes. Cook until onion begins to soften and turn translucent, about 3 minutes.

  3. Add Chard and cook for 5 minutes. It will greatly reduce in size.

  4. Cover and cook over medium heat for 2-3 minutes until the chard reaches desired texture.

  5. Add salt to taste. A few pinches should do.
