    Method: 

    Cut off and discard chard stems and any tough center ribs. Thinly slice leaves. Set aside.

    Heat oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add shallot and pepper flakes and cook, stirring often, until softened, about 2 minutes. Add chard, vinegar and salt and continue cooking, tossing often, until wilted and softened, 3 to 4 minutes more.

    Or, to cook in the microwave, place shallot, oil and pepper flakes in a very large microwavable bowl. Microwave on high until shallot is soft, about 1 minute. Add chard, vinegar and salt and toss. Microwave on high, stopping to stir every minute or so, until chard is wilted and soft, about 6 minutes. Pour off any excess liquid before serving.
