No need to discard the stalky bits of Swiss Chard; when in season, they impart a surprisingly sweet note to this garlicky favorite.

  • 2 tablespoons coconut oil
  • 4 cloves fresh garlic, smashed
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes
Instructions
  1. Wash chard, then remove stems.
  2. Chop stems; shred leaves.

  4. Add garlic and stems and cook, stirring, until softened; roughly five minutes.
