Garlicky Swiss Chard with Walnuts and Feta
Salty feta and toasted walnuts add texture to tender, garlic-scented greens
Why This Recipe Works
Toasting the walnuts and cooking the stems separately from the leaves ensures every component has the right texture. The residual heat from the greens softens the feta just enough without losing its signature briny bite.
Instructions
Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering. Add the chard stems and cook until they begin to soften, about 3 to 5 minutes.
Stir in the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
Increase the heat to medium-high and add the chard leaves, water, salt, and pepper. Cover the pan and cook, stirring occasionally, until the leaves are wilted and tender, about 3 to 5 minutes.
Transfer the greens to a serving dish and sprinkle with the feta and walnuts. Serve immediately while the greens are still warm.
