What You’ll Need

  • 1 bunch of Swiss chard
  • Salt (to taste)
  • Water

Step 1: Prepare the Swiss Chard

Start by washing the Swiss chard under cold running water. Remove any dirt or debris from the leaves and stems.

Step 2: Separate the Leaves and Stems

Using a sharp knife, carefully separate the Swiss chard leaves from the stems. Set aside the stems for later use, as they can also be cooked and enjoyed.

Step 3: Cut the Leaves

Stack a few Swiss chard leaves together and cut them into strips of your desired width. Repeat this process for the rest of the leaves until you have them all cut.

Step 4: Boil Water

Fill a large pot with water and add a pinch of salt. Place the pot on the stovetop over high heat and bring the water to a rolling boil.

Step 5: Blanch the Swiss Chard

Once the water has reached a boil, carefully add the Swiss chard leaves. Allow them to blanch for about 2-3 minutes or until they become bright green and tender.

Step 6: Drain the Chard

Using a slotted spoon or tongs, remove the Swiss chard from the pot and transfer it to a colander. Rinse the leaves under cold water to stop the cooking process.

Step 7: Serve and Enjoy!

Your boiled Swiss chard is now ready to be served as a side dish, added to soups, or used in other recipes. Season it with salt, pepper, or any of your favorite spices.
