Chard & Avocado Sauté

Serves 4-6

1 Tablespoon olive oil

1 large yellow onion, sliced

1 pint cherry tomatoes, washed and stemmed

3 cloves minced garlic

2 bunches Swiss chard, washed and chopped (tough stems removed)

1/2 cup vegetable broth

Salt and pepper to taste

1 large Hass or Reed Avocado, peeled and cut into chunks (get a Reed if you can find it!)

1 teaspoon lemon juice

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat.  Add onion, tomato and garlic and saute for 5 minutes, or until the cherry tomato insides start to leak out. Add the chard, broth and a sprinkle of salt and pepper. Cover and cook for 5 to 8 minutes more or until greens are bright green and tender. Remove from heat. Fold in avocado chunks, sprinkle with lemon juice, season to taste with salt and pepper and serve.
