Swiss chard is a leafy green vegetable that is best eaten when cooked. You could substitute kale or collard greens, however if using collards you will likely cook for longer to break down the fibers. If the pan dries out, add a Tablespoon or 2 of water. This is a nice alternative to a salad as a side dish. Enjoy!
