Swiss chard is less common than spinach, but it’s often a better choice. It’s a more sturdy green that pairs just as well with fish, poultry, and meat.

4 tablespoons olive oil
2 cloves garlic, smashed, peeled, and roughly chopped
2 pounds/900g Swiss chard, tough stems removed
Fine sea salt
Freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

Warm the olive oil in a pan large enough to hold the Swiss chard over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook until slightly colored, about 2 minutes. Add the Swiss chard, season with salt and pepper, and cook until wilted, 6 to 7 minutes. You might need to add the chard to the pan in batches.
