Rainbow Chard

Rainbow chard is a pretty easy, healthy, delicious side that a lot of people ignore because they don't know what to do with it. We're gonna teach you!

How to Make It

1. 1

   The most important thing when prepping is to separate the stalks from the leaves. Slice the leaves off the stalk and chop the leaves up.

2. 2

   Slice the stalks lengthwise - they're quite fibrous and this breaks it up. Then chop into smaller pieces.

3. 3

   Toss the stalk pieces into a pan first with some olive oil, cover and saute for about 5 minutes, occasionally stirring so they don't stick to the bottom.

4. 4

   When they are looking soft, pile the leaves on top of them, reduce heat slightly, and pour 2-3 tablespoons of olive oil on top of the leaves.

5. 5

   Cover the pan again - smush those leaves down with the lid if you need to. They'll be fine.

6. 6

   Let this steam and saute for about 5 minutes, then stir it up again, starting to get the leaves down further and stirring the stalks up towards the top.

7. 7

   Let it steam and saute for another 5 minutes. All the leaves should be pretty broken down now.

8. 8

   Keeping the heat on, add garlic salt and the juice of one lime to cut some of that olive oil richness and add flavor. Add a pinch of red pepper flakes if you like.
