Garlicky Chard
- 1 bunch rainbow chard (about 2 cups chopped)
- 1 large garlic clove - minced (about 1 tsp minced)
- Pinch of salt, or to taste
- 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper, or to taste
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1/2 cup cooked red quinoa
- 1 tablespoon grated cheese (optional)
- 1/4 cup chopped tomatoes or cucumbers
- OTHER PROTEIN ADD-IN OPTIONS
- chickpeas
- boiled, poached or sunny side up egg
- grilled tofu
- Cut off the stems from the chard leaves and chop the leaves into medium size pieces.
- Heat extra virgin olive oil in a small non-stick pan on medium-low heat.
- Add garlic and cook for a minute, be sure to not let the garlic burn/turn brown, you may need to lower the heat a bit.
- Add the chopped chard, salt, crushed red pepper and mix well. Cook for about 5 minutes. Taste the chard to test for doneness. You want it to be a bit crunchy, wilted chard won't be so appetizing if you're eating it solo.
- Add the cooked quinoa and mix well.
- Top it with tomatoes.
