Swiss Chard with Olives image

Sauteed Swiss chard with onion, garlic, jalapeno, and olives is a fitting accompaniment to fish, chicken, or pork. The winelike hues of Kalamatas, which are cured in red-wine vinegar, stand out in this verdant dish.

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 small bunches (about 1 1/4 pounds) Swiss chard, trimmed and washed
1 teaspoon olive oil
1 small yellow onion, sliced 1/4 inch thick
1 jalapeno pepper, finely chopped
1/3 cup pitted and roughly chopped brine-cured olives, such as Kalamata (about 16)
1/2 cup water

Steps:

  • Separate leaves from the stems of the Swiss chard. Roughly chop leaves, and set aside. Cut stems into 1-inch pieces.
  • In a large skillet or Dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add onion, garlic, and jalapeno, and saute until onion is translucent, about 6 minutes. Add Swiss chard stems, olives, and the water; cover, and cook 3 minutes. Stir in Swiss chard leaves; cover, and continue cooking until stems and leaves are tender, about 4 minutes. Serve immediately.
