This versatile, nutrient-packed side pairs well with Asian-inspired entrées and makes a simple meal with rice + your choice of protein. Let’s make crave-worthy greens! These simple, savory greens begin with sautéing garlic in toasted sesame oil until fragrant. Ginger and red pepper flakes are optional for a spicy, gingery kick! We recommend them. Next, we add chopped Swiss chard leaves. Using just the leaves creates a more tender, crave-worthy result, but you can also include the stems, adding them sooner to ensure they become tender. The final ingredients are tamari and water. Tamari makes these greens incredibly flavorful with an Asian-inspired flavor profile and water allows them to cook long enough to become very tender and soak up all the flavors. Note that this recipe isn’t inspired by any one specific dish, but the ingredients are commonly used in Chinese and Japanese cuisine. If you know of a dish like this one, we’d love to hear about it in the comments! We hope you LOVE this sautéed Swiss chard! It’s:TenderSavoryGarlicky + gingerySubtly spicyQuick & easy& SO versatile!
