A quick and delicious way to maximize on those in-season chard greens and Meyer lemons. Don’t make the mistake of throwing away the stems, either: nose to tail is not only for the cooking of animals, so why not use the whole vegetable?

  • 2 tablespoons coconut oil
  • 4 cloves fresh garlic, smashed
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes
  • 1 Meyer Lemon, 1 tsp rind reserved and the remainder juiced

  3. Heat oil in skillet over medium.

  5. Turn off heat.
  6. Add tomatoes and chard leaves.
  7. Cover and let sit five minutes
  8. Drizzle juice on top, then sprinkle with lemon rind
