Ingredients

  • 2 bunches of Swiss chard with stems about 1 pound
  • ⅓ cup peanut or vegetable oil
  • 4 garlic cloves minced
  • Salt to taste
  • 1 teaspoon sweet paprika
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon Aleppo or crushed red pepper
  • ¼ cup white vinegar
  • Freshly ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Heat a pot of water to boiling. Blanch the Swiss chard until just wilted and bright green, 2 to 3 minutes. Plunge the leaves into a large bowl of ice water, and then wring out in a tea towel. Coarsely chop the chard. 
  •  Heat the oil in a medium skillet. Toss in the garlic, sautéing until just fragrant, and then add the chard, cooking for a minute. 
  •  Sprinkle on a little salt, the paprika, cumin, and hot pepper, and cook for another minute, stirring. 
  •  Pour the white vinegar into the pan, and cook for another minute or until it has begun to evaporate. Season with salt and freshly ground pepper to taste. 
  •  Serve at room temperature.
