Sauted Rainbow Chard

Again, another quick and simple side dish.  All the colors in this dish pack a huge load of nutrients too! 

Here's whatcha need:

1 bunch of rainbow chard (or Swiss)

2 garlic cloves

1/2 onion

1 Tbsp. oil

salt to taste

Rinse chard.

Separate stems from the leaf. Then chop stems into smaller 2-3 inch pieces, and chop leaves a couple times to make them slightly smaller.

Crush garlic with the flat side of a knife. This ruptures more of its cells, releasing more of it's medicinal properties, it also makes it easier to remove the skin.

Dice the onion.

Over medium heat, pour oil and let it heat up.  Then add garlic, onion, and stems from the chard. Saute until chard stems become soft.

Then add leaves on top. Cover with a lid and let the steam cook the leaves down. Stir occasionally and add salt if desired. 

Your finished product should look like this. The chard leaves cook down SO much!

Serve as a side dish and enjoy!
