INSTRUCTIONS
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. Mix the lime juice with 3 tablespoons of olive oil and season with salt and pepper. 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. Just before serving, stir in the lime and oil, mixing well. Converted by MC_Buster. 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.
