Photo: Swiss Chard Recipe
Ingredients
- 2 large bunches Swiss chard
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 4 strips thick-sliced bacon, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
- 1 large onion, sliced
- 3 garlic cloves, sliced
- 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- 2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar
Directions
Slice the stems into 1-inch pieces and reserve. Stack the chard leaves into a pile. Roll together into a bundle and slice into 1/2-inch ribbons.
Heat oil to a Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the bacon and saute until browned, rendering the fat. Add the onion and garlic and cook until translucent. Add chard stems, cook for 3 to 4 minutes, then season with salt and pepper.
Begin to add the chard ribbons in batches. Once the chard wilts down, add the next batch. Stir occasionally until completely tender, about 5 minutes.

This is great! I don't particularly care for the balsamic vinegar I bought. Any recommendations on a good balsamic vinegar? Thanks.

Delicious and easy. I only made one bunch of the chard because we are only 2 people and it was perfect for us. Will definitely make this again.

I love collards, turnips and kale greens but I was really disappointed with this swiss chard. Not so much the taste but more the smell, it smells like beets and wet dirt, I really wanted to like it but I just couldn't. Not that the recipe isn't a good one it just wasn't my cup of tea.
