How to make Spiced Swiss Chard:
To make spiced chard faster, get all the ingredients ready. To do this, chop the chard, dice the pepper and onion and mince the garlic.
Place the chard in a pot with the water and bring it to a boil. Lower the heat, cover the pot and cook the chard over low heat until they are tender. Drain the chard once cooked and reserve the cooking water.
Heat a pot with oil and fry the onion until it begins to brown. Add the garlic and cook one more minute. Add the chard, a tablespoon of olive oil and the water used to cook the vegetables. Continue cooking the Swiss chard without covering the pot, keeping a small boil until the water evaporates, for 10-15 minutes.
Add the bell pepper, lemon juice, salt, cardamom, pepper, ginger and paprika. Cook the chard with spices until the pepper softens.
Now the Ethiopian-style spiced chard is ready to serve.
