Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1 large bunch Swiss chard (any variety), rinse thoroughly and just the bottom ½” of stem removed
  • 1 small Red onion, sliced
  • teaspoon Greek Girls Gourmet All Purpose Greek Seasoning
  • ¼ cup Dried apricots or 0.5 oz apricot fruit leather, finely diced
  • cup Sliced almonds
  • 2 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon Balsamic vinegar

Method
 

  1. Toast the almonds in a large dry skillet over medium-high heat. Toss continually until slightly brown. Remove from heat and transfer almonds to a small bowl to prevent additional browning.
  2. Slice the red onion into ¼” slices.  Remove stems from the chard and chop them into ½” pieces.
  3. In the same large skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add the red onion and chopped chard stems.  Sauté for 3-4 minutes, until tender.
  4. While the onions and chard cook, stack the chard leaves and slice into ¾” ribbons.  Add them to the pan with red onion and chard stems.  Sprinkle on the Greek Girls Seasoning.  Turn the chard a few times to combine.  Sauté 3-4 minutes.
  5. While the chard cooks, dice the apricot (dried or fruit leather). Add the diced apricot to the chard and drizzle the balsamic vinegar. Sauté an additional 4-5 minutes until the chard is tender.
  6. Sprinkle with toasted almonds just before serving.
