4 servings
- 2 large bunches swiss chard (about 1.5 lb), stems and leaves separated
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
- ¼ tsp fine sea salt, plus more to taste
- ¼ tsp ground ginger
Ingredient noteGround ginger is generally considered bladder-friendly, and the small amount in this recipe (~1/16 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.
- ¼ tsp ground turmeric
Ingredient noteTurmeric can trigger interstitial cystitis symptoms in some people, but the small amount in this recipe (~1/16 tsp per serving) is likely tolerated by many. If you prefer to always avoid turmeric, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
- 2 tbsp fresh thyme leaves
- 2 tbsp fresh flat-leaf parsley, roughly chopped
- 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 1 tsp fresh lemon zest (optional)
