Sauteed Swiss Chard




1 bunch Swiss Chard, chop stems into small pieces, leaves into bite size (~1 1/2 inches or so)
1/2 med Vidalia Onion
4 cloves garlic
Olive Oil
Butter
Black Pepper
Feta Cheese (optional)

Heat oil, melt butter, add onions and allow to soften for a few minutes. Add garlic, and stems of Chard first, then add leaves after a few minutes. cook 5 more minutes or so, until desired tenderness. Add feta and stir.

I read something about this being pretty at Christmas because of the red stems and green leaves and I guess the feta reminds you of snow...
