Wait! I must be missing something! Why is this called sautéed chard?
It’s quite good even without the olives. I’ve done chard with lemon and olive oil for a long time, based on a Giuliano Bugialli recipe. The raw garlic makes a nice addition.
After steaming I sautéed quickly in the dressing. Very tasty!
