Swiss Chard

This is what Swiss Chard look like

Cut the leaves away from the rib

Roll each section up and cut it like ribbons ( this is the same way you cut basil)

Chop this much onion and garlic

Cut 1 normal size tomato. I had these cute little baby ones so I used 7 or 8

Remove the flesh and seeds but "petaling" out the tomatoes like this.

Cut the tomato petal into 3 or 4 sections





Then line these pieces up and slice down to get a small dice size.



This is how much chopped tomato you should end up with



Saute your onion for about 4 or 5 minutes

Then add your garlic

Stir to combine and then add the chopped swiss chard right away.

Add about 1/4 cup of chicken stock

Toss the chard to combine. I find a pair of tongs works best. Let it steam until it's almost all the way wilted. Then add your chopped tomato.

Toss eveything together and then remove from pan.

Balsamic Reduction

Add Balsamic vinegar to the hot pan...Probably about 1/4 -1/3 Cup. Keep heat on high and reduce the Balsamic. Watch it carefully. This will happen in a few minutes. See the progession of the reduction below.

You can then top any number of things with this balsamic reduction. I topped my Salmon with it.
