Ingredients

2 pounds Swish chard cleaned with large stems discarded. Slice each leaf crosswise in 2-inch strips
3 tablespoons olive oil
4 garlic cloves minced
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper
1 large white onion chopped
1 (15-ounce) can diced tomatoes no salt added
1 (15-ounce) can cannellini beans rinsed and drained
1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar

Instructions

Bring a large soup or stock pot of water to a boil over high heat. Add the chard and stir. Reduce the heat to medium-high and simmer for 8 minutes. Drain and gently press the chard to remove excess moisture. Set aside.
While the chard is cooking set a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and heat until shimmering.
Add the chopped onion and saute about 5 minutes or until it begins to soften.
Add the crushed red pepper and garlic and saute for 2 minutes.
Stir in the canned tomatoes and bring to a boil.
Add the beans and heat over medium-high heat for about 3 minutes.
Add the chard and cook for about 5 minutes or until the flavors meld.
Stir in the balsamic vinegar and season with salt to taste.
