- Add the 2 cups shredded chard leaves to the pan. Cook, stirring, until the chard is mostly wilted.
- Stir in the minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute, until fragrant.

Tips & Tricks:
some pre-blended berbere seasoning contains salt so you will want to taste the dish before adding more. Also, Berbere spice is spicy (it's a chili pepper-based blend). Use accordingly by starting with a small amount (as little as 1/2 teaspoon) and add more to suit your taste. I usually end up with 2 teaspoons.
