How to Make Spicy Swiss Chard Or Spinach

  2. Add 1 pound Swiss chard or spinach (stems removed and roughly chopped). Toss quickly to coat with the oil and spices.
  3. Pour in 1/4 cup dry white wine. Stir to combine.
  4. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the liquid evaporates and the greens are wilted, about 3-5 minutes.
  5. Stir in 1 teaspoon sugar, season generously with salt to taste, and remove from heat.
  6. Serve immediately and enjoy!
