Juicy Swiss Chard

What to do with Swiss Chard from the CSA box? I love this recipe!

Ingredients

• 1 bunch swiss chard
• 2 tsp sugar
• 2Tbsp. olive oil
• 1/8 tsp tabasco sauce
• 1 small onion
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil
• 2 medium tomatoes
• 1/4 cup sour cream
• 2 Tbsp. red wine vinegar
• salt & pepper

Instructions

Trim and chop chard, discarding any tough stems. In a large skillet, heat olive oil, add onions and garlic, and saute 2-3mn until softened. Add chard, tossing to coat leaves. Cover pan with lid and heat 3-5 mn until chard is wilted and tender. Add tomatoes, vinegar, sugar, Tabasco sauce and basil. Heat 2-3 min. Remove from heat; mix in sour cream. Add salt and pepper to taste. Makes 4-6 servings.

Notes

I’ve made it with yogurt instead of the sour cream, or left it out altogether, and it was still great!
