Swish Swiss Chard With Pear, Pine Nuts And Parmesan

• 400 grams Swiss Chard (1 medium bunch)
• 2 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 40 grams Parmesan, shaved
• 1/2 Medium, firm pear, shaved
• 40 grams pine nuts, toasted
• salt and pepper to taste

1. Cut the stems away from the the leaves of your Swiss Chard. Cut your stems into lengths of 3-4 cm and set aside. Cut your leaves into ribbons, about 2-3 cm in width.
2. Add 2 tbsp of the olive oil and half the garlic into a heavy bottomed pan. Sautee for 2 minutes over a medium heat until the garlic has softened, then add the stems and sautee for 8 minutes, until they still retain a little bite, but are largely submissive. Remove from the pan.
3. Add the remaining olive oil and garlic into the pan over a medium heat. Sautee for a minute, then add the leaves. Sautee for one - two minutes, until the leaves gently wilt. Then return the stems to the pan and toss to combine. Season with salt and pepper.
