Swiss Chard & Ginger Saute
(serves 2 as a meal/serves 4 as a side dish)
1 bunch of swiss chard (about 6 leaves)
1 tbs. ginger root, peeled and chopped
1 tbs. coconut oil
1. Place coconut oil in skillet or large saucepan and heat over medium heat.
2. Rinse swiss chard. Remove the thickest part of ribs and discard (or save for your next juice or smoothie.) Cut the leaves crosswise into one inch-wide strips.
3. Once the oil is heated, add ginger and let cook for 2 minutes.
4. Add swiss chard to the pan and stir with a wooden spoon to combine with ginger and oil. Cover with a lid and let cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally. (The leaves will wilt and shrink when warmed.)
