Wash and drain the chard, chop stems and leaves separately; dice the onion, crush garlic, and rinse the rice.
Melt butter over medium heat and soften the onion for 4 minutes; turn the garlic for 30 seconds.
Add chard stems and saute for 2 minutes; add leaves and turn 1 minute more.
Add rice, hot water, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes, then stir once.
Cover and cook over low heat for 12 minutes until the rice absorbs the water.
Remove from heat, cover the lid with a cloth, and steam for 5 minutes.
Divide onto a serving plate and serve hot, with extra red pepper flakes if desired.
💡 Tip: Wash chard until the water runs clear; stems can hold sand. Leave the pot uncovered for 3 minutes after adding chard so the color does not darken.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve with red pepper butter on top and homemade yogurt or cacik.
