Photo: Wilted Chard Recipe
Ingredients
- 2 1/2 pounds swiss chard
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
- 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- 3 tablespoons cider vinegar, plus more to taste
- Pinch freshly grated nutmeg
- 1 cup chicken stock
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Directions
Fill a large bowl with cold water. Trim and discard the last 2 inches of the chard stems. Add leaves to water. (If the greens are very dirty wash them in several changes of water.) Lift the greens from the water, and put them in a colander to drain. Roughly chop the greens.
In a large Dutch oven or tall sided skillet over medium heat, cook the onion, garlic, red pepper flakes, cider vinegar and nutmeg for about 2 minutes. Add the greens in batches, stirring each batch as they wilt, before adding more. Add 1 cup chicken stock and cook, covered, stirring once or twice, until tender, about 10 minutes. Adjust the seasoning with vinegar, salt and pepper, to taste. Serve immediately.

This was good! I didn't have any nutmeg. Also, I also added a little butter while cooking the onions and other seasonings. Cooked it in the broth long enough for the leaves to be tender. I love greens, so I'm easy to please.

i wanted to make red swiss chard but could not remember how my mother did hers. even though i knew this prep was different i tried it. i left out the nutmeg since i do not like it in savory dishes. it turned out great. cooking for the 10-15 mins reduced the bitterness. even my husband and youngest son liked it and that is saying alot. will definately do again.

I am not a fan of greens and have never tried chard before, but a trip to the local farm prompted my family to try this new vegi. This recipe was delicious and all of my family enjoyed it!
