Chard

Method:
1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and blanch the chard for 15 minutes. Drain in acolander.

2. In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat and cook the onions and celery for about 7 minutes, stirring, until wilted. Add the chard and toss to coat with the oil. Add the tomatoes and season with a little salt and pepper. Let the greens simmer, uncovered, until most of the pot juices have boiled off, about 20 minutes.

3. Add the crumbled feta, stir, and continue simmering until the cheese is completely melted and the sauce very thick, another 7 minutes or so. Serve warm or at room temperature, drizzled, if desired, with additional olive oil.
