This is a dish that we eat almost once a week. It is quick, simple and delicious. Plus, it is nutritious and versatile. I love chard in all its preparations, but I could eat it prepared this way almost every day. The garlic and red pepper add spiciness. The preserved lemon adds saltiness and acid. I prefer either rainbow or red chard for this recipe.
