Quantity Ingredient
1½ cup Shelled Walnut Halves
2 pounds Swiss Chard
4 tablespoons Walnut Oil
5 Shallots; Peeled And Minced
4 Cloves Garlic; Peeled And Minced
Salt And Freshly Ground Black Pepper

1. Place walnut in a single layer in a large skillet. Toast over medium heat, turning once, for 10 minutes. Set aside. Trim chard leaves, discarding tough stems. Coarsely chop leaves and set aside.

2. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Add shallots and garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until shallots are soft, about 12 minutes. Add chard, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring, until chard has wilted, about 5 minutes.
