Ingredients

1 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil or coconut oil
½ small red onion (about 2 oz.) or one small shallot
2 cloves garlic minced
1 Tbsp. turmeric
2 tsp. cumin powder
1 tsp. cayenne powder optional
1/2 tsp. mustard seeds optional
½ inch fresh ginger grated
1¼ cup cannellini beans or beans of choice, cooked
1 bunch rainbow or Swiss chard or greens of choice, sliced into ribbons, stem sliced thin and kept separate from leaves
unrefined salt (real, pink, or Celtic salt) to taste
black pepper to taste

Instructions

Heat a large pan on medium-low heat for about 30 seconds.
Add enough oil to coat the bottom, and let heat up, about another minute.
Add the onions, garlic, and spices, let cook for 1 minute.
Add the ginger, swiss chard stems, and beans, and let cook for about another 2 minutes.
Add in the greens and cover, for 1-2 minutes. The greens will start to shrink and turn bright green.
Stir until the greens are uniformly bright green, and wilted, which should only take a couple of minutes. Don't overcook.
Remove from heat, add salt and black pepper to taste, and serve.
