Preparation Time:

Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil (or cooking oil of choice)
- 1 medium onion (chopped)
- 6 cups swiss chard (1 pound stems chopped and leaves sliced)
- 1/4 cup dried cranberries
Directions
- Wash hands with soap and water.
- In a skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Add onions and cook until softened.
- Add the Swiss chard stems and continue to sauté until beginning to soften.

- Once the chard is wilted, turn off the heat and cover the skillet, letting it rest for a few minutes before serving.

Notes
- Rinse, soak, and rinse the Swiss chard again to make it easier to remove all dirt and grit.
