Brief Description
If the thought of Swiss chard leaves you uninspired, get some from a farmer’s market that has been freshly picked. It is sort of like the difference between white corn picked that day, or the same corn two days later. The tastes don’t even compare.

Ingredients:
- 1 - large bunch of fresh Swiss chard
- 1 - small clove garlic, sliced
- 2 tablespoons - olive oil
- 2 tablespoons - water
- - Pinch of dried crushed red pepper
- 1 teaspoons - butter
- - Salt
Directions:
Rinse out the Swiss chard leaves thoroughly. Remove the toughest third of the stalk, discard or save for another recipe. Roughly chop the leaves into inch-wide strips.
Heat a saucepan on a medium heat setting, add olive oil, a few small slices of garlic and the crushed red pepper. Sauté for about a minute. Add the chopped Swiss chard leaves. Cover. Check after about 5 minutes. If it looks dry, add a couple tablespoons of water. Flip the leaves over in the pan, so that what was on the bottom, is now on the top. Cover again. Check for doneness after another 5 minutes (remove a piece and taste it). Add salt to taste, and a small amount of butter. Remove the swiss chard to a serving dish.
