Greens

I was pretty lazy with dinner tonight and opted for hot dogs, which were ridiculously delicious by the way. If you're local to Baltimore, I would highly suggest going to Springfield Farms and trying everything. Anyway, I did decide on doing some simple greens (chard in this case, but you can use any green) as a side. When I picked the greens up at the farmer's market, one of the workers overheard me telling my friend that I discard the stems and interrupted us to tell me the stems are delicious too. I have to agree - they are quite tasty!

Chard with Onion and Tomato
2 tbsp olive oil
1 bunch chard
1 small sliced onion
1 chopped tomato
salt and pepper

Heat olive oil over medium heat in deep sided skillet. Cut the stems from the chard and cut the leaves into 2 inch strips. Add stems and sliced onion to olive oil to skillet and cook for approximately 5 minutes, until stems soften. Add chard leaves and toss to coat. Add salt and pepper to taste. Cook until leaves wilt. Add chopped tomato and toss to warm tomato.
