Ingredients

  • 2 1/2 pounds Swiss chard
  • 1/2-pound slab bacon, cut into small dice
  • 2 medium red onions, halved and thinly sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
  • Salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/4 cup Serrano Chile Vinegar, recipe follows

Directions

Tear Swiss chard leaves from thick white stalks; discard the stalks and coarsely chop leaves.

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the bacon and cook until golden brown and fat has rendered. Remove bacon to a plate with a slotted spoon. Add the onions and cook in the rendered fat until soft. Add the garlic and cook for an additional minute. Add the Swiss chard leaves, season with salt and pepper and stir to coat the leaves. Cook until the leaves have completely wilted. Add the bacon back to the pan. Add the Serrano Chile Vinegar and continue cooking for 2 minutes. Serve with additional vinegar on the side.

Serrano Chile Vinegar:

  • 10 serrano chiles
  • 2 cups white wine vinegar
  • Kosher salt

Using a paring knife, make a small slit in each chile and place in a pint-sized jar or bottle with a shaker top.

Bring vinegar and salt, to taste, to a boil and cook until salt has completely dissolved. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

Pour vinegar over chiles, cover and let sit at room temperature for at least 2 days.

    Wow! This was great. I omitted the vinegar partially due to personal preference, and because it wasn't in my pantry. It was great without it though.

    Swiss Chard, one of my favorite winter veggies, in season now. I loved to make this recipe, although I think most people have trouble to wrangle down 2.5lb of fluffy greens into a pan. I used my wok, which worked just fine on my gas range.
    Also, I didn't dischard the color-(and flavorful stems, just cut them into smmaller pieces and sautee with the oninons, well ahead of the greens. This will give the dish more texture. It doesn't hurt to cut back a little on the bacon, or skim off some of the fat.
