These crunchy vegetables cooked Swiss style go very well with the Swiss roast chicken and other meat recipes as a side dish.

3 T butter
1⁄2 t pepper (or to taste)

Notes

To prepare kale, wash the leaves, cut away the center ribs, along the stems, cut each leaf into 1/4 inch strips.

If you find kale too bitter, substitute it with the same amount of Swiss chard - sweeter flavor and softer texture. Prepare the chard the same way you would kale.
