Directions

Remove the leafy portion of the chard from the stalk. Chop the stalks into bite-size pieces and set aside. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and blanch the leafy portion of the chard for two minutes. Drain thoroughly. Meanwhile heat the oil in a large sautee pan and add the stalks, shallots, and garlic. Sprinkle with salt and cook until tender. Add the leafy chard to the sautee pan, then the white wine and wait for the alcohol to cook off. Finish with butter, salt and pepper to taste. Enjoy the deliciousness!
