Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 small red onion, thinly sliced
- 10 to 12 cups red chard (2 bunches trimmed and coarsely chopped)
- Grated nutmeg, to your taste
- Coarse salt and pepper
- 2 tablespoons red wine or cider vinegar
Directions
Make sure your greens are very dry before preparing recipe. Also, wash and chop them when you come in from market, then they are ready for you to cook up even quicker.
Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add onions and toss 2 minutes, then add chard in bunches and keep it moving as it wilts up a bit - you are just searing it up. The greens should remain crisp and crunchy. Wilting them all and searing them up should take no more than 3 to 4 minutes. Season the greens with nutmeg and salt and pepper, to taste. Douse the pan with a little vinegar and remove from heat. Toss to cook off vinegar and serve the greens hot.

I made this for lunch today and it was good. I was very interested to see how the nutmeg tasted and I liked it. I think I accidentally put in too much vinegar and would like to try it with a little less next time - or maybe even without any. I kept the red stems in and they turned the onions a pretty pink color. It is so quick I will probably make it as a roast is resting, just before we eat.
