Sauteed Swiss Chard With Onions image

I found this recipe in the Nov/2007 Gourmet magazine. Posted for my Thanksgiving meal this year. Chard can be washed, dried and cut 2 days ahead and chilled in sealed bags lined with paper towels. Chard can be cooked 4 hours ahead and reheated over low heat on stove or in a microwave oven.
