Braised Chard with Fresh Hot Chiles
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
- 1 semi-hot fresh red chile, such as Fresno, or more to taste, sliced into thick rounds
- 2 big bunches of chard (about 25 stems total), stemmed, leaves torn into big pieces and stems thinly sliced
- 1 medium tomato, diced
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- Heat a large saute pan over medium heat, and add the oil and then the garlic and chile.
- Stirring frequently, cook until the chile has softened and the garlic is golden, 1 to 2 minutes.
- Add the chard stems, the tomato, and then the chard leaves.
- Season to taste with salt and pepper, and toss to coat with the oil.
- Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer, tossing frequently with tongs, for 3 to 4 minutes, until the chard is tender.
- Using tongs, transfer the chard to a warm shallow bowl, letting the juice and most of the tomatoes and peppers fall back into the pan.
- Reduce the liquid in the pan over high heat for 2 minutes, or until it is slightly syrupy (about cup).
- Pour the sauce over the chard, and serve.
