Chard recipe

Okay, so here's what I made yesterday -- it's a kind of seasoned vegetable dish.


--------------------


Chard and Vegetable Medley


Place the following ingredients in a large soup pot with 1/4 cup water:


4 cloves garlic, pressed or minced
1 medium onion, chopped
2 Tbsp no-salt seasoning (I used Mrs. Dash's onion and garlic)
1 tsp Nu-Salt (or similar)
4 yellow squash, 1/2" slices


Simmer about 3 minutes.


Add the following ingredients, along with another 1/4 cup water:


2 bunches Swiss chard, red and green parts, chopped
1 large red bell pepper, chopped
1 cup cherry tomatoes, cut in half


Cover and simmer about 12 minutes.  Drain the liquid into a smaller pot.  Add 2 Tbsp balsamic vinegar to the cooking liquid and boil together until thick and syrupy.  I think that took 10-15 minutes.  Poor syrupy liquid over vegetables.

My mother-in-law is always looking for new ways to cook greens, since Todd's dad doesn't particularly like them!  This was very delicious.
