Smoky Swiss Chard Sauté


 Ingredients
1 3/4 pounds Swiss chard, stems trimmed and finely diced, leaves coarsely chopped
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
... 2 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon minced ginger
1/2 cup diced tomatoes
1/2 teaspoon smoked Spanish paprika
2 teaspoons white wine vinegar
Salt and freshly ground pepper

Directions
In a large deep skillet, bring 2 cups of water to a boil. Add the chard stems and leaves and cook over high heat until just tender, about 8 minutes. Drain, pressing on the leaves to extract excess liquid. Wipe out the skillet. Add the olive oil and heat until shimmering. Add the garlic and cook over moderate heat, stirring, until lightly browned. Add the tomatoes and paprika and cook for 2 minutes. Add the cooked chard, and cook over moderate heat for 2 to 3 minutes longer. Stir in the white wine vinegar, season with salt and pepper, transfer the Swiss chard to plates and serve.
