Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Ensure all ingredients are measured out and ready to use. Pit and slice the olives if not already done. Drain the capers. Remove the stems from the Swiss chard and roughly chop the leaves. Thinly slice the green onion.
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the tablespoon of olive oil and let it warm up for about 1 minute.
- Add the sliced green onion to the skillet. Cook for about 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onions are soft and fragrant.
- Add the sliced olives, drained capers, and rosemary to the skillet. Stir well to combine with the onions. Cook for about 2 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
- Add the chopped Swiss chard to the skillet. Cook for 4-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chard has wilted and cooked down significantly. The leaves should be tender and vibrant.
- Season with a dash of black pepper to taste. Give the mixture one final stir to ensure everything is well combined.
- Remove the skillet from heat. Transfer the Swiss chard mixture to a serving dish.
Tips:
- Choose fresh, vibrant Swiss chard with crisp, unblemished leaves for the best flavor and texture.
- If you prefer a milder taste, you can blanch the Swiss chard briefly before sautéing to reduce its bitterness.
- Use high-quality extra virgin olive oil to enhance the overall flavor of the dish.
- Be mindful of the salt content in the olives and capers, as they can add significant salinity to the dish. You may not need to add extra salt.
- Finely chop the rosemary to ensure it evenly distributes and infuses the dish with its flavor.
Preparing Swiss chard with olives, capers, and rosemary is a quick and satisfying way to enjoy a healthy meal packed with bold flavors. By following these tips and using fresh ingredients, you can create a dish that is not only nutritious but also a delight to the palate. Enjoy this flavorful green dish as part of a balanced diet.
