1. 1

   ["Bring a large pot of well-salted water to a boil. Tear the swiss chard into large pieces, separating the central stalk from the leaves. Cut the stalks into 2"" long pieces. Put the chard stalks into the boiling water first and cook for 10 minutes. Add the leaves and cook for another 10 minutes, or until the leaves and stalks are tender. Drain and set aside.", "Heat up 2 tablespoons of the olive oli in a saute pan that is large enough to accomodate the swiss chard. When the oil is hot, add the capers and cook for about 1 minute. Add the garlic and cook another minute. Add the parsley and cook another 1-2 minutes.", "Add the swiss chard and toss to cover the chard with the caper garlic mixture. Add the last tablespoon of olive oil and the butter. Add the lemon juice and thoroughly toss to mix in. Sprinkle with the crushed red pepper flakes and season to taste with salt and pepper.", "Serve as a side dish or do as I did last night and lay a piece of fish on top and enjoy!"]
