Recipe: Red Swiss Chard with Lime and Chiles

RED SWISS CHARD WITH LIME AND CHILES

"This one is truly flavorful if you like greens."

2 tablespoons olive oil
2 1/3 pounds red Swiss chard, washed and trimmed
1 1/2 teaspoons minced garlic
1/4 cup lime juice
1 1/2 teaspoons granulated sugar
3/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper
Salt and pepper, to taste

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over high heat. When the oil is very hot, add the chard and stir vigorously until it has turned bright green and becomes slightly wilted, about 1 minute.

Add the garlic and cook 20 seconds more.

Add the lime juice, sugar, red pepper, salt and pepper and cook an additional 15 seconds. Remove from the skillet and serve.
