Ingredients

Directions

  1. Peel the carrots and slice them into thin slivers using a mandoline or sharp knife.
  2. Remove the tough stems from the green chard and chop the leaves into bite-sized pieces.
  3. Heat the virgin olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  4. Add the sliced garlic and dried red chile peppers to the hot oil and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.
  5. Add the slivered carrots to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes until slightly tender but still crisp.
  6. Add the chopped chard leaves to the skillet and toss continuously until the chard just wilts, about 1-2 minutes.
  7. Remove from heat immediately to prevent overcooking.
  8. Transfer to a serving dish and serve warm or at room temperature.
