Swiss Chard with Garlic, Shallots, and Olives

The perfect foil for the buttery fish is a semi-bitter leafy side. I always have a bunch or two of Swiss hard in my fridge. It is versatile, healthy and very quick cooking. Cook chard for just a few minutes in a pan with good evoo and it is done!

Serve with Pan Basted Halibut with Smoky Brown Butter.

Ingredients

Extra virgin olive oil
2 bunches Swiss chard
3 garlic cloves minced
2 shallots minced
Pinch of crushed red pepper
½ cup chopped pitted Kalamata olives
¼ cup dry white wine
Kosher salt
Freshly carcked black pepper

Instructions

Strip the chard leaves off the stems and rough chop. Slice stems into ½-inch pieces (I sliced mine on a bias because it looks cooler that way!)
Lightly coat the pan you used for cooking fish with evoo, and place over medium-high heat.
Add garlic and shallots to the pan and stir for 1 minute. Add crushed red pepper, chard leaves stems, olives, and wine. Stir together until chard has wilted. Season with salt and pepper and serve.
