By AnnieMro

Ingredients

• 2 tbsp. butter
• 2 tbsp. olive oil
• 1 tbsp. minced garlic
• 1/2 diced small red onion
• 1 bunch Swiss chard
• 1/2 cup dry white wine
• 1 tbsp. fresh lemon juice
• 2 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
• salt to taste

Preparation

Step 1

Remove the leaves from the Swiss chard. Tear the leaves away from the stems and center ribs. Chop them coarsely and place them in a bowl.

Chop the stems and center ribs of the chard. Cut them into 2-3 inch (5-7.6 cm) pieces.

Melt 2 tbsp. butter and 2 tbsp. olive oil in a large skillet. Melt them over medium-high heat and wait for the butter to melt completely.

Stir in 1 tbsp. minced garlic and 1/2 diced small red onion. Cook them together for at least 20 seconds, until the mixture is fragrant.

Add the chard stems and 1/2 cup dry white wine to the mixture. Simmer the stems for 5 minutes or until they begin to soften.

Stir in the leaves. Cook the chard until the leaves are wilted, at least another 3 minutes. Turn off the heat and place the chard into a bowl.

Stir in 1 tbsp. fresh lemon juice and 2 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese.Mix the chard until you've distributed the lemon juice and Parmesan cheese. Season to taste with salt.
