2 bunches of Swiss chard, cut into ribbons
1 teaspoon fresh garlic, chopped
I teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
1 Tablespoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon sesame oil
2 Tablespoons olive oil
2 Tablespoons water
Long-grain brown rice or quinoa—to serve on the side (optional)
Sauté ginger and garlic in olive oil. Add Swiss chard, soy sauce, sesame oil and water. Cover & cook until tender. Stir gently, salt & pepper to taste. Serve over cooked brown rice or quinoa for a complete meal option.
Chef’s Note: Substitute other local in-season ingredients for the Swiss chard—such as broccoli, kale, cabbage or green beans—to make this nutritious dish year-round!
