Sautéed Swiss chard is a simple yet delicious side dish that's packed with nutrients and flavor. Swiss chard, with its deep green leaves and colorful stems, is the star of this recipe, complemented by the richness of butter, the subtle zing of olive oil, and a touch of heat from red pepper flakes. This dish is perfect for a quick and healthy addition to any meal.
- Make sure to wash the Swiss chard thoroughly to remove any dirt or grit. Rinse the leaves under cold running water and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.
- If you prefer, you can separate the stems from the leaves and sauté the stems first, as they take a bit longer to cook. Add the leaves towards the end to keep them tender.
- Adjust the amount of red pepper flakes according to your heat preference. If you like things spicier, feel free to add a bit more.
- For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a sprinkle of freshly grated Parmesan cheese on top before serving.
- When sautéing, ensure that the pan is hot enough to slightly caramelize the Swiss chard, which enhances its natural sweetness.
In just a few steps, you've created a vibrant and tasty side dish that pairs beautifully with a variety of mains. Sautéed Swiss chard is not only easy to make but also an excellent way to incorporate more greens into your diet. Enjoy this healthy and flavorful recipe any time you need a quick and nutritious side.
