Ingredients

1 1/2-2 lbs Swiss chard or other greens
1 1/2 Tbs extra-virgin Olive oil
1/2 tsp Cumin seeds
2 Garlic cloves, thinly sliced
4 slices Lemons, 1/8 inch thick, seed removed
1/4 C Vegetable broth

Instructions

Separate chard leaves from stems and ribs. Wash leaves thoroughly and roughly chop. If using stems, rinse and finely chop. Heat oil in a deep sauté pan over medium heat. Add cumin seeds and cook, stirring often, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add garlic and chard stems and cook stirring often, for 3 minutes more. Stir in lemon slices. Add the leaves in 2 batches, allowing them to wilt before adding more. Add broth (or water), honey, salt and pepper. Cover and cook until greens are tender, 1 to 2 minutes more. Serve hot or warm.
