(141,116 posts)Who knew Swiss chard could be this good?! The key is to slice the chard very thinly and cook it over medium-high heat until it caramelizes on the edges. These greens are not soggy or mushy, no way.
This cooked chard is a little garlicky, a little lemony, and seriously irresistible. Its the perfect quick and healthy side dish. The chard shrinks in volume while it cooks, so youll find yourself eating more greens than you realizeyour body will thank you!
