Ingredients
1 large bunch of fresh Swiss chard
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 clove garlic, sliced
Pinch of dried crushed red pepper
1/4 teaspoon of whole coriander seeds
Directions
Rinse out the Swiss chard leaves thoroughly. Either tear or cut away the thick stalks from the leaves.
Cut the stalk pieces into 1-inch pieces. Chop the leaves into inch-wide strips. Keep the stalks and leaves separate.
Heat the olive oil in a sauté pan on medium high heat. Add garlic slices, crushed red pepper, and coriander seeds , and cook for about 30 seconds, or until the garlic is fragrant.
Add the chopped Swiss chard stalks. Lower the heat to low, cover and cook for 3 to 4 minutes.
Add the chopped chard leaves, toss with the oil and garlic in the pan. Cover and cook for 3 to 4 more minutes. Turn the leaves and the stalks over in the pan.
If the chard still needs a bit more cooking , cover and cook a few more minutes.
Serve immediately.
