Sauteed Swiss Chard

Tonight I sauteed some Swiss chard from my garden. It was quite simple to do, and was actually rather tasty.

2 servings:
1 stalk Swiss chard
1 onion
Olive oil
Light sprinkle of garlic salt

Wash swiss chard. Cut along stalk to separate the leafy green part. Slice the stalk like you would celery. Dice the onion. Put the chard and onion in a skillet with some olive oil, saute over medium heat.

I was pleasantly surprised at how tasty this was, and wish I'd tried this sooner. I definitely want to grow more chard and onions next summer. Mmmm.

Slice the leafy part of the chard in strips, 1/2" to 1" wide as desired. After the onion and stalk have sauteed for awhile, add the leafy chard and cover. Continue to cook until greens are nicely wilted and onions are translucent.

Sprinkle a touch of garlic salt over the top, and serve while hot.
