1 small sweet yellow onion, diced
4 or 5 medium garlic cloves, sliced thin
1 bunch red chard, leaves removed and chopped
6 large brussels sprouts, sliced thin
4 teaspoons olive oil, divided
kosher salt and pepper

Steps:

Peel and dice onion into 1/4 inch pieces. Peel and slice garlic into thin slices. Remove chard leaves from stem, cut chard leaves horizontally into 1/2 inch strips and set aside, chop stems into 1/4 inch pieces. Cut off brussels sprout stems, cut brussels sprouts lengthwise in half, then cut each half horizontally into thin strips. It should look like cole slaw. Heat 2 teaspoons of olive oil over medium heat in a large, non-stick wok until shimmering. Add onion and saute, stirring occasionally, until soft. Around 8 minutes. Add garlic and saute until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Add brussels sprouts, chard stems, and 2 to 4 healthy pinches of kosher salt. Mix it up and saute until brussels sprouts are bright green and fragrant. About 5 to 7 minutes. Add chard leaves, 2 teaspoons of olive oil, and fresh ground black pepper to taste. Stir it up a little and cover the wok for about 4 minutes. Uncover, the chard leaves should have wilted a bit and should be easier to stir into the mix. Mix up all the veggies and saute until the chard has cooked down a bit. About another 4 to 5 minutes. Remove from heat and serve immediately.
