Swiss Chard and Vegetables with Warm Brazil Nut Dressing


Ingredients:

1 bunch of Organic Swiss Chard chopped into bite sized pieces

6 cloves of garlic finely chopped

12 cherry tomatoes cut in half

1/2 cup diced pepper (I used yellow today)

1/4 cup chopped Brazil Nuts

3 Tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Feta Cheese and Pine Nuts for garnish.

In a large sauce pan, heat the 3 tablespoons of olive oil.  When it is hot, add the chopped brazil nuts.  Let them sizzle and turn a little brown.  Add the garlic and let it cook about 2 minutes.  Do not let it burn.  Add the peppers and tomatoes.  Cook for about 1 minute.  Add the Swiss Chard and toss so that everything mixes together.  Cook until the Swiss Chard shrinks and gets soft but not mushy, about 6 -8 minutes.

Put mixture into a dish.  Add feta cheese and pine nuts.
