Swiss Chard with Garbanzo Beans and Fresh Tomatoes

This recipe was sent to me by Mama Suzy (aka "Grammie"). A satisfying vegetarian main dish, or wonderful side for meat, this has already become a staple in the "Casa del Marsecco" kitchen.

What's in it:
2 tbsp olive oil
1/2 onion, chopped
5 cloves garlic, minced
1 can garbanzo beans, drained
salt & pepper to taste
1 bunch red Swiss chard, rinsed and chopped
1 tomato, sliced (or cherry tomatoes!)
1 lime, juiced
1/2 tsp cumin (or more to taste)
1/2 tsp red chili powder (or more to taste)

How to make it:
Heat olive oil in a large skillet.
Stir in garlic and onion; cook and stir for 3-5 minutes, or until soft and fragrant.
Stir in garbanzo beans, and season with salt and pepper; heat through.
Place chard in pan, and cook until wilted.
Add tomato slices, squeeze lime juice over greens, add chili powder and cumin. Heat through.
Plate, and season with salt & pepper to taste.

Serves: 4
