The stems from Swiss chard shouldn't be trashed; they add texture and a layer of flavor to any sauté.

Recipe information

  • Yield

    4 servings

Ingredients

1 bunch Swiss chard, ribs and stems separated from leaves
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 large shallots, thinly sliced into rings
2 garlic cloves, grated
Kosher salt
2 teaspoons Sherry vinegar or red wine vinegar

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Cut Swiss chard stems into very small pieces. Tear leaves into 2" pieces and rinse well (you'll want some water still clinging to the leaves).

    Step 2

    Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Add chard stems, shallots, and garlic and season with salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are starting to soften but haven't taken on any color, about 2 minutes. Add chard leaves, season with salt, and cook, tossing occasionally, until leaves are tender and have released some liquid, about 3 minutes (stems will have a bit of crunch). Mix in vinegar; taste and season with more salt if needed.
