Sautéed Chard with Jalapeño, Ginger and Sausage
This pairs very nicely with a very quick red lentil dal and a cooling dollop of yogurt. Substitute spinach, mustard or collard greens or any other leafy green you might have, for the chard.

Sautéed Chard with Jalapeño, Ginger and Sausage
This pairs very nicely with a very quick red lentil dal and a cooling dollop of yogurt. Substitute spinach, mustard or collard greens or any other leafy green you might have, for the chard. You can also omit the sausage and fry a couple of eggs in the pan instead or just serve as is with dal or rice.
Ingredients
Serves 4
1 tablespoon oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1-inch piece of ginger, grated or minced
1 small jalapeño, minced and seeded if you want less heat (taste the pepper before adding it all–they vary so widely in heat level and add according to taste)
1 large bunch chard, washed, stems finely chopped and leaves halved lengthwise and then cut cross-wise into bite-sized pieces
2 4-oz sausages, cut into rounds or crumbled
Salt
Preparation
Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chard stems, ginger, jalapeno and garlic and sausage and sauté for about 7 minutes, stirring often. Take care not to burn the garlic. When the sausage is nearly cooked through add the chard leaves and mix well. Add a pinch or two of salt. Stir well and cook for another 3-4 minutes until chard is tender but still bright.

Had some bacon to use up, so substituted it for sausage-delicious! Afterward, I thought maybe some golden raisins might be good with this dish too.
