Preparation
- Step 1
Mash the garlic with salt to a paste using the side of knife or a mortar and pestle. Place in a bowl and whisk in lemon juice. Drizzle in oil while whisking until dressing is thickened. Set aside.
- Step 2
Cut off the leaves from stems of Swiss chard. Tear the leaves into large pieces. Wash well and drain. Place in a 3-quart saucepan, cover and steam over medium heat until wilted, about 3 minutes, stirring once while steaming. Drain and add to dressing. Toss to coat. Sprinkle with olives and serve.

Wait! I must be missing something! Why is this called sautéed chard?
It’s quite good even without the olives. I’ve done chard with lemon and olive oil for a long time, based on a Giuliano Bugialli recipe. The raw garlic makes a nice addition.
After steaming I sautéed quickly in the dressing. Very tasty!
