Stir-fried, not charred

This week's Resolution Recipe: Stir-fried chard with Garlic.

3/4 lb chard
2-3 Tbsp peanut oil
2 tsp finely chopped garlic (Ha! I used... more.)
pinch salt to taste

Wash the chard thoroughly and dry. Chop into 4" lengths.
Heat the oil over a high flame until just smoking. Add the garlic and stir-fry briskly until it is fragrant. Throw in all the chard and mix well, making sure that you scoop the garlic up from the base of the wok and toss it in with the leaves. Continue to stir-fry until the leaves have wilted and the stalks are tender, seasoning with salt to taste.

Serves two as a side.

What worked: This was nice and a good change from our usual steamed chard. Easy.

What didn't: I was reasonably happy with it.

Will I make it again? Sure, it'll be a thing we do with chard.

My favorite way to cook it (or kale) is to toss some garlic into some butter and cook on a med heay till it starts to brown, then add the greens and a handful of pine nuts and stir till they are wilted a bit.
