Ingredients:
2 TB olive oil
1 lb. Swiss Chard, trimmed and coarsely chopped
1 clove garlic
Salt and pepper
6 cups of chicken stock or low-sodium chicken broth
1 small onion, finely chopped
1 ½ cups Arborio rice
6 oz. Gouda cheese (goat’s milk), shredded

2) Meanwhile, in a deep skillet, heat olive oil until shimmering.
3) Add chard stems and sauté, stirring frequently.
4) Add garlic and sauté 1 minute.
5) Add chard leaves and cook until wilted. Drain all the ingredients in skillet and transfer to bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Cover to keep warm.
