INSTRUCTIONS
1. Prepare the chard or spinach. Tear the larger leaves apart and wash
thoroughly. Chard leaves can be a bit gritty but, unlike spinach, will not
wilt so readily in water.
2. Mix the lime juice with 3 tablespoons of olive oil and season with salt
and pepper.
3. In a saucepan heat the remaining olive oil, add the chard and stir.
Cover and allow to cook for 5 minutes over a medium heat, then remove the
lid. The chard should be almost cooked, give it a stir and replace the lid
for 1 minute more.
4. Just before serving, stir in the lime and oil, mixing well.

NOTES : Quick and simple, this is a delicious accompaniment to something
rich like the Roasted Vegetable Lasagne, Much as I love fresh spinach,
given the choice I would always choose chard. For some reason it is usually
fresher and more flavoursome than spinach. Remove the large central spine
with a sharp knife and cook it separately or save it for a stir-fry the
next day.
