From the kitchen of Jilda Putano

Wash:

1 lb string beans

Remove ends of string beans.

Wash 3 or 4 times, until water is clean:

1 bunch swiss chard

Cut up the swiss chard.

Peel & cut up:

2-4 potatoes, depending on size

For each vegetable, bring salted water to a boil. Boil seperately.

Before fully cooked, add all vegetables together to finish cooking.

Drain as much water as desired.

In a small saucepan, add:

3/4 c oil

fresh garlic

Cook until garlic starts to color.

Add vegetables and season with black pepper.

Simmer for a few minutes.

The longer this stands after cooking, the better the taste is.
