Braised chard

by Don  

Today I made braised chard using the same recipe from Cook's Illustrated.

Olive oil 2 tbsp240
Swiss chard 23.5 oz118
Onion 8 5/8 oz95
Garlic 3/8 oz16
Lemon juice 4.5 oz36
Vegetarian stock 1 cup15
Total:520

Divided into four, that makes 130 calories per serving. Very tasty. I threw in a couple tepines, too, but that doesn't really affect the calorie count. The chard had an almost buttery taste to it.

Chard doesn't have the bitter taste of mustard greens, so I think in the future I may just eat in raw in salads.
