Veggie-Rice One-Dish Meal

I just ran across this recipe the other day. I think it sounds tasty....plus it's quick, healthy, and cheap[sorta].  I haven't made it yet, but will tomorrow.  Why don't you make it too, and then we'll compare notes. [hopefully he won't read this...he actually thinks people read his babbling, and just haven't commented...Sssssh, here he comes back!]      I was totally surprised to find Swiss chard...it was in the produce section at Safeway. If you aren't familiar with chard, it's a green, similar to collards.

• 8   cups Swiss chard, rinsed, dry
• 1-2 med. onions, sliced thin
• 2   cloves garlic, chopped
• 2   Tblsp. olive oil
• 1  15oz. can diced tomatoes, drained, reserved
• 1  15oz. can cannolli beans,drained [I'm using Great Northerns, navy would work, also]
• 1  cup vegetable broth   [I'm using tomato juice]
• freshly grated parmesean [or your choice of cheeses]
• cooked brown rice
• salt and pepper to taste

1. In a large pan saute' onions and garlic in olive oil until soft and golden
2. Add chard and stir until starts to wilt. Add tomatoes, beans, and broth.
3. Cook just until chard is fork-tender and season as you wish. The original recipe suggested basil and oregano.
4. Serve over brown rice [I'm using brown-wild-white mix]
