4 servings
- 2 large bunches swiss chard (about 1.5 lb), stems and leaves separated
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
- ¼ tsp fine sea salt, plus more to taste
- 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 1 tsp honey
- ¼ tsp ground turmeric
Ingredient noteTurmeric can trigger interstitial cystitis symptoms in some people, but the small amount in this recipe (~1/8 tsp per serving) is likely tolerated by many. If you prefer to always avoid turmeric, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
- ⅛ tsp ground ginger
Ingredient noteGround ginger is generally considered bladder-friendly, and the small amount in this recipe (~0.03 tsp per serving) is likely fine for many people with interstitial cystitis. If you prefer to always avoid ground ginger, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
Instructions
- 1
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering. Add the chard stems and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and beginning to turn translucent at the edges, about 4–5 minutes.

Add the garlic and cook, stirring frequently, until fragrant and just beginning to turn golden at the edges, about 1 minute. Watch closely, as the garlic can brown quickly.
