Often in summer, we struggle to come up with ideas for a frugal evening meal. Yet this kind of dish served with a good salad will please everyone. Chard stems in julienne require you to remove the stringy bits by hand, it's work but it makes all the difference. You sweat them for 5 minutes in olive oil, then turn up the heat with the greens for 2 minutes to drive off the plant water. The eggs are beaten quickly with a fork, nothing more. Two pans, 4 minutes of cooking then 2 minutes covered. That's how you get a flat omelette that isn't soft.
