Wash the chard leaves, finely chop the thick stems, and tear the leaves into large pieces.
Saute the onion in olive oil for 4 minutes in a pot, then add the peppers and turn for 2 minutes.
Add the chard stems and grated tomato, cook for 3 minutes, then add the rinsed and drained rice.
Add the chard leaves, sprinkle in salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes, pour in the hot water, and cover.
Cook over low heat for 18-20 minutes until the rice and chard are tender, rest for 5 minutes, and serve.
💡 Tip: Soaking the rice in warm salted water 15 minutes ahead helps it cook as separate grains.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve hot or warm with yogurt and a lemon wedge on the side.
