The sweet in this recipe comes from the Smucker’s Natural Strawberry Jelly. I visited Smucker’s last year and since then they send me new products to try and the Natural Strawberry Jelly is one of those products. I liked it so much that I went over to Albertsons and purchased the other flavors they have in the Natural Jelly line. I purchased grape and raspberry. The spicy comes from the added spices! YUM!

1 bunch of broccoli
1 bunch of red chard (separate the leaves and the stalks)

1 cup of mushrooms
1 tsp. cayenne pepper
1 tsp. chili pepper
1 tsp. chipotle pepper
1 tsp. salt
2 Tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 garlic cloves (Minced)
1/4 cup of chicken stock

(I don’t use onions in my house but I bet some onions would also add to the flavor of this dish)
Smucker’s Natural Strawberry Jelly

Chop the celery, broccoli, and shard

In a large skillet heat up the oil and garlic (over medium heat)

Throw the veggies in your pan get the veggies browned with the oil and garlic, then add your other seasonings
