This is a wonderfully easy greens recipe.
Ingredients
  • 1-2 bunches of organic swiss chard, rainbow chard, or red chard
  • ½ Tablespoon or desired amount of Epic Duck Fat
  • Himalayan Salt
  • Filtered water
Instructions
  1. Tear the chard leaves off of the stems or use a knife to trim the leaves off the stems into small pieces. (I prefer to tear vs. trim the leaves off the stem and inspect the leaves as I go for bugs, bad spots, etc.)
  2. Throw out any bad leaves and toss the rest in a large glass bowl(s) or large stainless steel bowl(s). Depending on how much use 1-2 bowls.
  3. Fill the bowl or bowls with the torn or cut organic swiss chard leaves and filtered water, so that all the chard is submerged in water.
  4. Allow the chard to soak for 10-15 minutes to remove any remnants of dirt, bugs, etc.
  5. Once during that time period, shift the leaves around in the bowl.
  6. Once that time is up, drain the water off completely and refill the bowl with new, filtered water. Allow the leaves to soak again for 10 minutes or so.
  7. Drain all of the water off the chard.
  8. Place the chard leaves in a kitchen towel to squeeze out as much water as possible and dry them off. Be aware that the greens may stain your kitchen towel. Typically, I've found it washes out of mine.
  9. Preheat (just for several minutes) a stainless steel or cast iron skillet on medium low with ½ tablespoon of duck fat or your desired amount.
  10. Once the oil is melted, place the leaves in the skillet.
  11. Cook over medium low heat for approximately 20-25 minutes.
  12. Stir the chard approximately every 5-7 minutes as it cooks.
  13. Serve when it becomes soft and tender.
  14. Sprinkle with Himalayan salt.
  15. Enjoy!
