3 tbsp olive oil
4 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
¼ tsp fine sea salt, plus more to taste
Chef's tip
Season to taste - salt substitutes can taste bitter in larger amounts, so start with less.
¼ tsp ground ginger
¼ tsp ground turmeric
2 tbsp fresh thyme leaves
2 tbsp fresh flat-leaf parsley, roughly chopped
1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
1 tsp fresh lemon zest (optional)

Instructions

1
Separate the Swiss chard stems from the leaves. Thinly slice the stems crosswise and roughly chop the leaves into 2-inch pieces; keep them in two separate piles.
2
Heat the olive oil in a large (12-inch) skillet over medium heat until shimmering. Add the sliced chard stems and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and beginning to turn translucent at the edges, about 4 minutes.
