Photo: Sauteed Swiss Chard with Bacon Recipe
Ingredients
- Olive oil, for pan
- 1 cup bacon, cut into 1/4-inch dice
- 2 cloves garlic, smashed
- Pinch crushed red pepper flakes
- 1 bunch Swiss chard, stems removed and cut into 1/2-inch lengths, leaves cut into 1 1/2-inch lengths
- 1/2 cup chicken or vegetable stock
- Kosher salt
Directions
Coat a large saute pan lightly with olive oil and add the diced bacon, garlic, and crushed red pepper. Bring the pan to medium-high heat. When the garlic has turned a lovely golden brown, remove from the pan and discard. At this point the bacon should start to become brown and crispy. Add the Swiss chard stems and the stock and cook until the stock has mostly evaporated. Add the Swiss chard leaves and saute until they are wilted. Season with salt.

Loved it! Don't think so much bacon needed but tastes amazing. My 1st time cooking chard.

Absolutely fantastic! I did not season it with salt and it still turned out too salty, but I give it five stars on flavor. Next time I will use low sodium stock. I paired this with crab cakes and a nice corn remoulade a la Bobby Flay and it was an amazing restaurant-quality meal.

This is a great recipe EXCEPT that it is too salty. Since I added no salt and my bacon was low sodium, I can only conclude that the chicken broth reduction was the source of salt. I will make the recipe again with home made salt-free stock.
