A delightful and nutritious dish featuring sautéed Swiss chard, sweet dates, crunchy almonds, and creamy goat cheese.
Wash and chop the Swiss chard into bite-sized pieces.
Use a salad spinner to dry the chard thoroughly after washing to avoid excess moisture.
Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
Ensure the oil is hot but not smoking to avoid burning the garlic.
Add the garlic to the skillet and sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
Stir constantly to prevent the garlic from burning.
Add the Swiss chard to the skillet and cook until wilted, about 5 minutes.
Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking.
Stir in the dates and almonds, cooking for an additional 2 minutes.
Toast the almonds beforehand for extra crunch and flavor.
Transfer the mixture to a serving dish and sprinkle with goat cheese.
Serve immediately to enjoy the cheese slightly melted over the warm chard.
