A flavorful and healthy side dish featuring tender Swiss chard with a tangy balsamic and garlic twist.
Wash the Swiss chard thoroughly and chop it into bite-sized pieces, discarding the tough stems.
Soaking the chard in cold water can help remove any dirt or grit effectively.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add a drizzle of olive oil.
Ensure the skillet is hot before adding the oil to prevent sticking.
Sauté the diced onion and minced garlic until fragrant and translucent, about 3 minutes.
Stir frequently to avoid burning the garlic.
Add the chopped tomatoes to the skillet and cook for another 2 minutes until they start to soften.
Use ripe tomatoes for a sweeter flavor.
Stir in the Swiss chard, balsamic vinegar, salt, and black pepper. Cover the skillet and let the chard steam until tender, about 5-7 minutes.
Adjust the seasoning to taste before serving.
Serve the dish warm as a side or over rice for a complete meal.
Garnish with a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese or toasted nuts for added flavor.
