    4 x 4 oz (125 g) tilapia fillets

    1/2 tsp (2 mL) salt and pepper

    2 Tbsp (30 mL) canola oil, divided

    1 cup (250 mL) diced onion

    3 garlic cloves, minced

    8 cups (1.5 L) chopped Swiss chard

    3 cups (750 mL) cooked whole red lentils

    1 (15 oz/398 mL) can diced canned tomatoes, drained

    1 cup (250 mL) dry white wine


Directions

  1. Season tilapia with salt and pepper and set aside.
  2. In a deep 9 inch (22 cm) round skillet or pan over medium to high heat, heat half the oil.
  3. Add onion and garlic and cook until translucent. Add Swiss chard and remaining oil and cook for 3 minutes to wilt the greens.
