Directions Savory Swiss Chard with Bacon
Directions
-
Chop chard stems into 1-inch pieces. Tear leaves in half.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion and garlic, cook and stir until fragrant. Stir in bacon, cook until browned and crisp, about 5 minutes.
Stir Swiss chard stems and leaves into the skillet. Reduce heat and cover skillet. Cook for 5 minutes. Turn chard with tongs to coat with bacon drippings. Cover and cook, turning once, until stems are fork tender, about 10 minutes more.
Increase heat to medium, stir white wine and red pepper flakes into the skillet. Cook, uncovered, until moisture evaporates, 2 to 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
