Organic Way
Ingredients
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 teaspoon cumin seeds
2 jalapeños, minced
1 1/2 tablespoons minced fresh ginger
3 pounds Swiss chard—rinsed, stems cut into 1/2-inch pieces, leaves cut into 1-inch ribbons
Salt
1 1/2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
Directions
In a large, deep skillet, heat the oil. Add the cumin and cook over moderately high heat until slightly darkened, 10 seconds.
Add the jalapeños and ginger and cook, stirring, until fragrant, 1 minute. Stir in the chard leaves and stems with the water that clings to the leaves and a pinch of salt.
Cover and cook over low heat, stirring, until the chard is tender, 12 minutes. Uncover and cook over high heat until most of the liquid has evaporated, 2 minutes.
Add the lemon juice, season the chard with salt and serve.
