GRILLED ITALIAN CHICKEN SAUSAGE, SAUTEED CHARD, & TOMATOES

Grilled Italian Chicken Sausage, Sauteed Chard, and Tomatoes

 

A fresh bunch of Swiss or Rainbow Swiss Chard - rinsed, dried, and sliced crosswise into shreds
1 garlic clove
1 tablespoon olive oil
One package fully cooked natural chicken sausage in your favorite flavor or variety
Fresh ripe tomato - sliced

Saute the sliced garlic in the olive oil until fragrant. Add the chard, toss and cook until wilted and tender - about 12 minutes.

While chard is cooking, heat grill or nonstick saute pan and light brown the cooked sausages. Remove to cutting board, slice and arrange on plates.

Add a pile of Sauteed Chard, and Tomato Slices - drizzle both vegetables with a little balsamic vinegar and season with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper.

That's the dish.
