Notes: After cutting out tough stems, I roll leaves jelly roll fashion and slice into ribbons. drop in garlic in oil and add the chard without water. I add whatever vegetables I have to it including onions, peppers, spinach. It's a great way to use those vegetables up. You can substitute collard greens, kale or spinach. It's great as a meal with a little parmesan cheese sprinkled on top if you don't use the feta.
