METHOD

1. Wash and chop the Swiss chard (separate stalks from leaves if desired).
2. Bring water to a boil, add a pinch of salt, and boil the chard for 4–5 minutes. Drain well and squeeze gently to remove excess water.

5. Sauté for 3–5 minutes, stirring frequently, until flavours blend. Add salt to taste.
